To mark Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, we are pleased to present a new educational brochure on myasthenia gravis for newly diagnosed individuals and their loved ones.

Blood proteins flag multiple sclerosis years before diagnosis, opening a window for prevention

admin — Tue, 26 May 2026 14:12:51 +0000

Of more than 2,500 blood proteins screened, a small group may drive MS and signal who will develop it

A new study has revealed a group of blood proteins that are altered in people who go on to develop multiple sclerosis (MS), in some cases more than a decade before diagnosis. The findings offer hope that a simple blood test could one day identify people at high risk of MS in time to act before damage occurs.

Here are the new titles in our collection, now available at the NPRC!
