"Viral Link: Smoking Gun Study Uncovers Multiple Sclerosis Trigger"

A study from the University of Texas reveals how the Epstein-Barr virus may trigger multiple sclerosis by showing that T cells recognizing EBV-infected cells are present in the cerebrospinal fluid at the earliest stages of MS, suggesting their potential role in the disease's pathogenesis. The research provides "smoking gun evidence" for the link between EBV and MS, shedding light on the immune system's response to the virus and its potential contribution to the development of the autoimmune condition.
