Researchers have traced the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), showing that the immune system begins attacking the brain up to seven years before diagnosis. By analyzing over 5,000 blood proteins, they identified molecular signs of damage to myelin-the protective sheath around nerve fibers-long before symptoms emerge.
