Summary:

The human brain is a hub of activity, coordinating the vast array of bodily functions that are necessary for survival. While the brain is an immune-privileged site, numerous immune responses occur in this organ. To better understand the immunology of the brain, researchers study the intricate interplay between inflammatory responses and brain health.

In this webinar Dr. Lawrence Steinman will explore the unique relationship between the immune and nervous systems in health and disease.

Topics to be covered :

  • Understand how the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) may trigger Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Recognize the key immune and brain proteins involved in MS
  • Explore emerging treatment strategies
