The study found that MS patients had 50% less amyloid plaque accumulation, a key indicator of Alzheimer’s, compared to non-MS individuals. This connection between MS and reduced Alzheimer’s risk highlights potential immune-related mechanisms that may be leveraged for therapeutic strategies.

Key Facts:
  • MS patients are 50% less likely to develop amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s.
  • The immune response in MS might help reduce amyloid buildup in the brain.
  • This discovery opens up new avenues for Alzheimer’s research and potential treatments.

That's an unfortunate "Would you rather..". Hopefully the research pans out though, could be good news for both groups if their lucky.
