Multiple sclerosis flares associated with recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor

TL;DR: Four patients who were enrolled on protocols of high-dose immunosuppression with peripheral blood stem cell rescue for MS experienced neurologic worsening while receiving recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and there was improvement when methylprednisolone was given to three of the patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

ADP and AMP Induce Interleukin-1β Release from Microglial Cells through Activation of ATP-Primed P2X7 Receptor Channels

TL;DR: It is concluded that selective sensitization of P2X7 receptors to ADP and AMP requires priming with ATP, which leads to activation by ATP metabolites and proinflammatory cytokine release from microglia without cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relating axonal injury to functional recovery in MS

TL;DR: The association of clinical improvement with recovery of N-acetylaspartate, a marker of neuronal integrity, and progressive reduction of abnormally large functional MRI cortical activation with movement demonstrates that dynamic reorganization of the motor cortex accompanies remission of MS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional consequences of S1P receptor modulation in rat oligodendroglial lineage cells

TL;DR: S1P1 and S1P5 serve different functions during oligodendroglial development, and possibly during remyelination, as well as being differentially modulated by platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) and PDGF‐induced OPC mitogenesis.
