The association between neurodegeneration and local complement activation in the thalamus to progressive multiple sclerosis outcome

Abstract excerpt

The extent of grey matter demyelination and neurodegeneration in the progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) brains at post-mortem associates with more severe disease. Regional tissue atrophy, especially affecting the cortical and deep grey matter, including the thalamus, is prognostic for poor outcomes. Microglial and complement activation are important in the pathogenesis and contribute to damaging processes that...
