In our latest review, out now in @natrevimmunol.nature.com, we extend the concept of excitotoxicity beyond glutamate receptor overactivation to include innate and adaptive immune pathways, introducing the framework of immune-mediated excitotoxicity.

Kicking off this year‘s annual DGN Congress in Berlin with an opening symposium focused on resilience, which included an engaging panel discussion. Looking forward to more interesting presentations over the next few days! #dgnkongress2025.

In our latest study, out now in Sci Transl Med, we show that B cell-released lymphotoxin-α impairs human neuronal activity, which is reversible upon BTK inhibitor treatment. Thank you to everyone involved in this exciting work! @science.org

Amazing location (Maritime Museum of Barcelona), wonderful atmosphere, great people! Our group enjoyed getting to relax and interact with others from the #MultipleSclerosis research community at the #ECTRIMS2025 Party. 🥳

Out now in #SciTranslMed! We show non-canonical activity of AMPA receptor signaling in T cells. Oral selective noncompetitive AMPA receptor blockade ameliorates neuroinflammation by preventing T cell egress from lymph nodes and therefore may be repurposed to treat inflammatory conditions such as MS.

AMPAR inhibition lowers S1P in human blood and improves murine autoimmune neuroinflammation by blocking T cell egress from lymph nodes
A clinically available AMPAR antagonist inhibits T cell egress from lymph nodes and shows therapeutic effects in mouse models of multiple sclerosis.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the first European meeting of our Neuroimmune GRC a success! It was an amazing week of interesting science, lively discussions, and lovely evenings enjoying the Italian atmosphere. We look forward to our next meeting in 2027!

In our new paper, we show that multimodal biomarkers, i.e. different major surrogates for pathology derived from MRI, OCT and blood, inform about different parts of MS disease pathology leading to clinical progression.
