• Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz analyzed cerebrospinal fluid from women with and without multiple sclerosis, identifying over 100 proteins with altered levels.
  • Women with MS had elevated levels of proteins associated with immune activity and reduced levels of proteins linked to neurogenesis.
  • The study suggests that hormones, especially sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), may influence MS risk, which is three times higher in women aged 30-40.
  • The research could help develop personalized therapies for multiple sclerosis.
