Episode 358: VISIBL-MS with Dr. Jaime Imitola

The inequities associated with gaining access to quality healthcare are often discussed, and my guest this week has taken steps to address them. Dr. Jaime Imitola and his team at UCONN Health have created a tool called VISIBL-MS, a bilingual framework designed to increase doctors' and patients' awareness of the early signs of MS.

We'll also share the results of a study that clearly illustrate progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA).

We'll tell you about a small study that showed a positive outcome for people with progressive MS who received neural stem cell therapy.

We'll share details of a study that identified a panel of 20 blood-based proteins that have been shown to be predictive of MS disease activity. (And we'll tell you why that's a good thing for patients and researchers!)

And we're reminding you that we're just over 2 weeks away from CRUSH MS!

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
