[Cerebrospinal fluid molecular biomarkers of multiple sclerosis]. / Molekuliarnye biomarkery v tserebrospinal'noi zhidkosti pri rasseiannom skleroze.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting brain and spinal cord. Nowadays, MS diagnosis at early stages is difficult since the causes and mechanisms of the disease onset have not yet been fully discovered. The MS diagnosis is a complex process, and understanding molecular mechanisms of the disease as well as searching for biomarkers are principal directions in MS diagnosis. In this review, the authors present promising biomarkers for MS found in the cerebrospinal fluid.
