Axonal loss and gray matter pathology as a direct result of autoimmunity to neurofilaments

Axonal damage is considered the major cause of irreversible disability in multiple sclerosis (MS). Which mechanisms underlie the damage and whether this is secondary to myelin damage remains to be clarified. Recently, we have demonstrated that autoimmunity to the axonal/neuronal cytoskeletal protein...
