Journal ArticleDOI

Migration of multiple sclerosis lymphocytes through brain endothelium.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate an increased migration rate of MS T lymphocytes across the brain endothelium barrier and that such migration is dependent on chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and on matrix metalloproteinases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical immunology of the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator fingolimod (FTY720) in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: Functional antagonism of S1P1 by fingolimod results in a reduction in peripheral lymphocyte counts by inhibiting egress of lymphocytes, including potentially encephalitogenic T cells and their naïve progenitors that would otherwise be present within the circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic differences between human monocytes/macrophages and microglial cells studied in situ and in vitro

TL;DR: The results indicate that invading monocytes/macrophages mainly have a perivascular location in active multiple sclerosis lesions, whereas invading monocyte/ Macrophages also infiltrate the parenchyma in acute inflammatory CNS diseases such as in encephalitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statin Therapy Inhibits Remyelination in the Central Nervous System

TL;DR: The findings suggest that simvastatin inhibits central nervous system remyelination by blocking progenitor differentiation, indicating the need to monitor effects of systemic immunotherapies that can access the central nervous System on brain tissue-repair processes.
