This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Do you have a source for that? As I have close friends affected by MS I'd be really interested in reading a paper about it and sharing it with them.

From my initial searches I can't seem to find anything else than this being a proposed theory among others.

Edit: I've found this article https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-suggests-epstein-barr-virus-may-cause-multiple-sclerosis suggesting it's at least one of the factor but not the source of it.

I found this one but it's locked behind a Paywall so I can't tell you the full story. I did however find that it's linked to or referenced by 35 other sites, most of which are reputable science sites

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-023-00775-5

Edit: another that is talking about the next stages of research now they discovered this

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cti2.1451

Thanks, that's really interesting. I'll try to find the opened paper somewhere else, but the abstract already gives a lot of interesting informations :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

sci-hub should help get you that paper

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yep that's what I was alluding to :). Unfortunately the first DOI did not return a result. I'll probably email the contact author. They usually are quite willing to send the PDF.

Right here.

Is there a non youtube source? It's not in the description.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

What about this one?
