COVID-19 Could Trigger MS Via ‘Molecular Mimicry,’ Study Shows

By Marisa Wexler, MS on 01/10/2023

A protein in the virus that causes COVID-19 is
structurally similar to several proteins targeted by the immune system in
multiple sclerosis (MS), a new study shows. The results provide a
potential mechanism for how COVID-19 could trigger MS-like disease in
susceptible individuals, researchers said. The study, “Sequence
similarity between SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid and multiple
sclerosis-associated proteins […]
