COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PURPOSE: This study will test the diagnostic potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by microglia. Microglia are resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) which perform multiple functions including, immune response to local environment, communication with all CNS cells (neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) and phagocytic clearance of misfolded proteins and apoptotic or necrotic cells. EVs derived from microglia can play an important role as mediators of both pathological and reparative mechanisms in MS. Microglia are known to play key roles in both active inflammation and remyelination in MS | $50,000 |
