For decades, researchers have known there is a striking epidemiological link between infection with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and the later development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Almost everyone is exposed to the virus at some point in their lives, yet MS remains relatively rare — a mismatch that has long raised a fundamental question in neurology and immunology: how does a common viral infection translate into a highly specific autoimmune disease?
A newly published study in Cell offers new insight into that question, outlining a concrete immune mechanism through which EBV infection may directly contribute to MS-related neuroinflammation.
