This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi Taurus, I am a multiple sclerosis researcher based in Melbourne, Australia. I work with a number of other researchers, neurologists and clinicians in the MS space. If you can guide me with some more specific questions that you would like answers to, I would be more than happy to help. Rest assure...

Hi ElliotB, Thanks for your interest. The hope is that we will be supporting a variety of research projects across a number of different interest areas. We have a lot of other researchers who are very interested in participating and we hope to have them onboard across 2018. The only requirements fro...

Hi all, As you may be aware from my previous posts, I am a multiple sclerosis researcher based in Melbourne, Australia. However, for the past 5 and a half years, I have also been working as a co-founder of MStranslate - a science communication platform that is designed to make research into multiple...

Making no pretense as to understanding the science, I was blown away when I, in an effort to better understand the above article, researched the word "citrullination" in Wikipedia. So many of the subjects discussed at length in these forums appear in the Wikipedia article, and other conne...

Here is the Q&A link, hopefully it helps answer some of the questions that people have had. It really was a pleasure to be able to interact with Greg and Mike across the Feature Week.

Hi NHE, Thanks for the questions. Firstly, I'll let you know that we had an extensive Q&A last night with all of the participants from the feature week. This was recorded and will be uploaded and published tomorrow. I'll post the link here once that happens as I believe some of what was discusse...

Hi Luvsadonut, Apologies for the slow reply. It's an interesting question - you may get some answers from one of the personal experience videos that we showed this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBZ5eMKRhwc&t=2s We also featured the second part of an interview with Professor Murphy, where...

Thanks for sharing this Scott1! I am really excited about sharing the content this week surrounding MitoQ for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I think while we are still looking for answers as to the causes of MS, it is important that we examine as many different avenues as possible. I think that this ...

Hi all, Just as a way of introduction, we will be conducting a Feature Week on Facebook this week week with Professor George Jelinek and the Neuroepidemiology Unit from The University of Melbourne. You may already know George through his association with the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis group. We w...

Part 2 of this interview is now available online:

Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital have published a paper in Nature Medicine that shows how the metabolism of certain compounds in the gut by bacteria is linked to neuroinflammation. The full summary of this article can be found on our website: http://www.mstranslate.com.au/diet-gut-bacte...

Hi all, The first part of our interview with Dr Leigh Charvet (Clinical Neuropsychologist, NYU Langone Comprehensive MS Care Center) has been uploaded. Impaired cognitive function is a common problem experienced by many people with MS and Dr Charvet has devoted her career to researching different wa...

We have published a new summary to our website outlining the updated results of the biotin clinical trials in MS. These results were presented at the recent AAN conference in Vancouver. http://www.mstranslate.com.au/biotin-ms-clinical-trials-update/\ Additionally, I will be conducting an interview w...

Hi all, As you have suggested, we did not discuss the type of lipoic acid used during the interview. Unfortunately, that question was posted after we had conducted the interview and so I didn't have a chance to discuss it. The link to the journal article is for a previous study and not the clinical ...

Could you ask if medication or supplements made a difference to outcomes and a decline in cognitive capability was that decline correlated with a particular physical decline? Which treatments made no difference? Did a decline correlate with any specific blood test outcomes? Regards, Thanks Scott1 -...
