The Epstein-Barr virus seems to affect gene expression and cell signalling in a way that causes the autoimmune condition ...

The connection between multiple sclerosis and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is strengthening, according to a paper published this week in JAMA Neurology by a team of international researchers, including ...

New research suggests that Epstein-Barr virus may actively provoke the immune system in people with multiple sclerosis. Scientists found large buildups of virus-targeting immune cells in the nervous ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected and reprogrammed autoreactive B cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to become activated antigen-presenting cells. EBV-infected B cells in ...

An Anglo-American team of researchers has devised a new computational method for quantifying Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) directly from human genome sequences and used this to identify 22 genes that link ...

A new groundbreaking study has recently identified the link between the long-standing mystery in autoimmune disease: Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and how it contributes towards the development of systemic ...

Some types of CD8+ T cells (killer T cells) may play a role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). This is according to data from a new study published in Nature Immunology. Specifically, ...

Nine in 10 people worldwide have been infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). But only a small number will go on to develop serious illnesses that have been linked to the virus, such as lupus, chronic ...
