Plasma Endothelial Microparticles in Multiple Sclerosis: A Novel Metric Assay of Disease Activity and Response to Treatment
Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to validate plasma microparticle profiling in multiple sclerosis with the goal of defining microparticle species which have value as predictive or prognostic biomarkers. Additionally, the findings of this project Scope: These finding apply to both civilian and military patients with MS. Major Findings: We have now linked iron deposits in specific brain structures in MS with particular microparticle species; some of these data have been presented at the last international society for neurovascular disease. Up to date report: We are continuing with patient recruitment and processing of samples and are collecting timed patient samples after recruitment towards completion of the project.
