This study identifies a dual role of S100A9 in progressive multiple sclerosis, showing it drives neurotoxicity extracellularly but may protect neurons intracellularly in microglia.

This study finds reduced amyloid beta and neurofibrillary tangles in MS cortex compared to controls, with age-dependent patterns and a correlation between Aβ and NFT density.

This study shows that iron accumulates abnormally in the spinal cord of MS patients, correlating with oxidative stress and neurodegeneration, but not with demyelination or iron-rimmed lesions.

The paper identifies a subpopulation of microglia associated with pericytes in the brain and shows this population is reduced in Alzheimer's disease in the superior frontal gyrus.
