PURPOSE OF REVIEW
In recent years we notice paradigm shifts in the understanding of multiple sclerosis (MS), leading to important transition in the patients' management. This review discusses some of the recent findings and developments underlying the conceptual changes being translated from 'treating the disease' to 'treating the patient' with MS (PwMS).

Multiple sclerosis: renaming the notorious and historical diagnosis?
- MedicineNeurological Sciences

The notorious ‘MS’ label should be updated, perhaps by removing the reference to high recurrence of the disease (‘multiple’) or replacing ‘sclerosis’, which is a noun that carries a morbid connotation.

Signaling networks in MS: A systems-based approach to developing new pharmacological therapies
- BiologyMultiple sclerosis
- 2015
Together, data suggest that MS is likely to be associated with abnormalities in apoptosis/cell death, microglia activation, blood-brain barrier functioning, immune responses, cytokine production, and/or oxidative stress, although which pathways contribute to the cascade of damage and can be modulated remains an open question.
CSF neurofilament and N-acetylaspartate related brain changes in clinically isolated syndrome

The association of NFH levels with brain volume but not lesion volume changes supports the association of these markers with axonal damage, and results confirm increased neurofilament levels already in CIS being related to the level of physical disability.
