A collaborative research group involving experts on Multiple Sclerosis from UT Southwestern, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Pennsylvania is the first in the world to validate retinal segmentation in MS, and to identify a specific geography within the retina during acute optic neuritis whose thickness measures are unaffected by edema/water. This observation has important ramifications for neuroprotection and neurorestoration trials in MS. An earlier paper by the group describes a novel variant of MS (affecting perhaps 10 percent of the patient pool) where retinal pathology begins in the macula of the retina, rather than the disease targeting myelin first in the optic nerve and then leading to axonal and neuronal degeneration in the retina.
