The ACP newsletter is one of the vehicles through which we keep you informed about MS-related topics, new findings in MS research and news from ACP. We’ve covered a wealth of information over the last 12 months. As the year draws to a close, we’d like to review our newsletter topics from 2024. For those who would like to revisit any of them, they are just a click away!

Researchers are unlocking new insights into MS.
FDA-approved MS treatments help, but many still struggle, leading some to try alternative therapies. Here are three recent studies with promising results on their effectiveness!
Proteins are crucial for the structure and function of our cells. Studying how they work could unlock new treatments for MS, and the ACP Repository is a key resource for this research.
The European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS (ECTRIMS) is a non-profit dedicated to advancing MS research and treatment in Europe. Explore the key highlights from its annual Congress, which gathers around 9,000 experts to share insights and collaborate!
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding its impact on people with MS is crucial. Learn what researchers have uncovered about COVID-19 risks, severity, vaccination and long COVID in those with MS.
Explore the cutting-edge science of MS biomarkers!
A biomarker is a biological indicator that gives doctors detailed insights into what’s happening inside the body. Discover the latest biomarkers that could transform MS care!
Imaging biomarkers provide a detailed view of MS in the brain and spinal cord. Learn about advanced imaging techniques uncovering new markers for earlier detection and more precise monitoring of MS.
Recent research on MS has shifted toward its genetic roots, identifying markers that could lead to new options for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

We’re grateful for the many ways that our partners, donors and volunteers have given of their time, talents and resources to help us in our work. Together we are accelerating research for all affected by MS, bringing us closer to a cure. Stephanie Buxhoeveden (ACP’s Chief Scientific Officer) shares, “It is the most touching, humbling thing that people show up to the iConquerMS network, selflessly donating their data, their time, their rich experience. They are the heart of everything we’ve done.” We look forward to new possibilities in the coming year. Stay tuned, and look for updates in future newsletters!
“There is always something new to learn, some new challenge to address, or some new breakthrough to celebrate. Much progress has been made in MS in the past couple of decades, and there is still much left to do. It’s exciting to be a part of it!” – Hollie Schmidt, VP of Scientific Operations
