ABSTRACT

For the ninth year in a row the Post-ECTRIMS Meeting has been held in Madrid (Spain) with the aim of presenting and discussing the hottest issues debated at the ECTRIMS Congress by renowned specialists in multiple sclerosis in our country. One outcome of this scientific activity, endorsed by the Spanish Neurology Society, is this review article, which is published in two parts. This second part reflects the current controversy over the management of multiple sclerosis, especially as regards the progressive forms and their differential diagnosis. The work presents the latest advances in remyelination, where the use of the micropillar technique in laboratory stands out, and in neuroprotection, which is reviewed through a study of the optic nerve. Anti-CD20 antibodies are a very promising development and we find ourselves before a new mechanism of action and therapeutic target in cells to which little attention has been paid to date. Another notable fact is the high correlation between the levels of neurofilaments in cerebrospinal fluid and in serum, which could make it possible to avoid the use of cerebrospinal fluid as a biological sample in future studies of biomarkers. The review also provides a preview of the advances in clinical research, which will converge in clinical practice in the future, thereby conditioning the steps that should be taken in the therapeutic management of multiple sclerosis.
