It seems that they have found finally a biomarker for MS. Previously light chains (pieces of immunoglobulins in blood) had been reported that could...

I believe that the term 'light chains' is referring to protein. Immunoglobulins are antibodies. They are composed of two heavy chains and two light...

MicroRNAs are proposed as a biomarker of MS. When myelin is broken, some fragments of RNA appear in blood.

But a recent research has appeared...

Maybe they have just found the first reliable test for MS (and alzheimer). Sadly, it requires a spinal tap.

A new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...
