      <description>A complete guide — which supplements can worsen MS or dangerously interact with DMTs: echinacea and other &quot;immune boosters&quot;, high-dose vitamin A and B6, iron without a proven deficit, herbs with major drug interactions (St John&apos;s wort, ginkgo, high-dose garlic), the bleeding risk of stacking NAC/curcumin with anticoagulants, and what actually has evidence to help (vitamin D, omega-3, biotin — in the right doses).</description>

      <description>Spasticity affects up to 80% of people living with multiple sclerosis and is one of the leading reasons quality of life drops over time. This complete guide explains why MS causes spasticity and spasms, how neurologists grade it with the Modified Ashworth Scale, which oral medications actually work (baclofen, tizanidine, gabapentin, clonazepam, dantrolene), when botulinum toxin injections and Sativex are worth trying, when an intrathecal baclofen pump becomes an option, which stretching routines and physiotherapy techniques have the strongest evidence, and — most importantly — how to spot and remove the everyday triggers (UTI, constipation, heat, tight shoes, poor sleep) that cause sudden flare-ups.</description>

      <title>FDA clears CTA313 trial: off-the-shelf CAR T-cell therapy for progressive multiple sclerosis (June 2026)</title>

      <description>On June 9, 2026, the US FDA cleared an Investigational New Drug application from Imviva Biotech for CTA313 — an allogeneic (&quot;off-the-shelf&quot;) dual-targeted CD19/BCMA CAR T-cell therapy — to begin a Phase 1b basket trial in progressive MS, systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune encephalitis. Here is exactly what this means, what CAR T-cell therapy is, why the &quot;off-the-shelf&quot; design matters, what the early Chinese lupus data show, and what people with progressive MS should realistically expect.</description>

      <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>A viral infographic claims caffeine helps fight inflammation in MS. We checked the actual studies — a 2024 systematic review, a 2025 meta-analysis of 900,000+ people, a 2025 randomised trial on fatigue, and mechanistic work on the NLRP3 inflammasome. Here is what coffee really does, what it does not do, and how much is safe if you live with MS.</description>

      <title>A newly discovered molecule (ATDR) helps repair myelin and restore nerve function in multiple sclerosis — what the yak study in Neuron (2026) actually shows</title>
      <link>https://msboracsaborac.com/en/blog/retsat-q247r-jak-mijelin-remijelinizacija-atdr-multipla-skleroza-otkrice</link>

      <pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Chinese scientists studying a genetic mutation in yaks and other high-altitude animals uncovered a previously unknown myelin-repair mechanism. A gain-of-function mutation in the Retsat gene (Q247R) makes the enzyme more active in neurons, boosting production of the vitamin-A–derived signal ATDR/ATDRA, which binds RXR-γ on oligodendrocytes and drives faster remyelination. Published in Neuron, April 2026. Here is what the study really shows — and what still stands between it and a treatment for MS.</description>
