Some recent advances in multiple sclerosis.
In this article, we review some of the key advances in multiple sclerosis (MS) over the last 3 years. Significant progress has been made in understanding the genetics and pathogenesis of MS. The classification of MS phenotypes has been revised and the landscape of therapeutics is rapidly evolving. We provide a practical summary of the main developments for the practising neurologist.
