    Abstract Purpose of the review: Despite the significant progress in the development of disease-modifying treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS), repair of existing damage is still poorly addressed. Current research focuses on stem cell-based therapies as a suitable alternative or complement to current drug therapies.
    Recent findings: Myelin damage is a hallmark of multiple sclerosis, and novel approaches leading to remyelination represent a promising tool to prevent neurodegeneration of the underlying axon. With increasing evidence of diminishing remyelination capacity of the MS brain with ageing and disease progression, exogenous cell transplantation is a promising therapeutic approach for restoration of oligodendrocyte precursor cell pool reserve and myelin regeneration.
    Summary: The present review summarizes recent developments of remyelinating therapies in multiple sclerosis, focusing on exogenous cell-based strategies and discussing related scientific, practical, and ethical concerns.

    Abstract Objectives: Multiple sclerosis clinicians are continuously challenged to be innovative in delivering therapies and there is ongoing pressure to maximize day-hospital vacancies. We describe our single-center experience with ocrelizumab (OCR) rapid infusion (OCR-RI) in patients with MS (pwMS).
    Methods: For pwMS with prior exposure to OCR standard infusion (OCR-SI) for at least one year/two cycles, infusion time was reduced from 3.5 to 2.0 h. A comparative analysis between OCR-RI vs OCR-SI patients was conducted.
    Results: 283 (76.7%) out of 369 OCR-treated pwMS performed OCR-RI; 86 subjects did not start OCR-RI due to infusion-related reactions (IRR) occurring with OCR-SI (n = 13) or OCR-treatment duration shorter than one year (n = 73). Disease duration was longer in OCR-RI (p < 0.001). Median numbers of overall-OCR and OCR-RI cycles were 7 (IQR = 5-8) and 4 (IQR = 2-5) (p < 0.001). Overall, 38 (10.3%) IRR were reported, 25 (8.8%) in OCR-RI and 13 (15.1%) in OCR-SI group. IRR frequency did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.106). IRR included throat irritation, rash, hypotension, fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. IRR severity was mild (81.6%) or moderate (18.4%), all resolved and did not differ in distribution between the two groups. When IRR occurred, infusions were temporarily stopped, hydration and/or symptomatic medications were given and infusions were subsequently resumed at standard velocity. OCR-RI was not a risk factor for IRR (OR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.27-1.13, p = 0.096).
    Conclusions: In our cohort, IRR frequency, severity and management were comparable to literature. No severe IRR were observed. RI protocols represent a strategy to optimize patients' management in the clinic.

    Abstract Background and purpose: During the COVID-19 pandemic, ocrelizumab administration was frequently postponed because of a lack of safety information and to favour vaccination. The clinical implications of ocrelizumab administration delay in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients were assessed.
    Methods: Relapsing (RMS) and primary progressive (PPMS) MS patients receiving ocrelizumab for at least 6 months at our centre were retrospectively classified, according to the possible occurrence of a delay (≥4 weeks) in treatment administration. Patients were categorized in the extended-interval dosing (EID) group in the presence of at least one delayed infusion; otherwise they were considered as part of the standard interval dosing (SID) cohort. MS history, magnetic resonance imaging examinations and B-cell counts were also retrospectively collected and analysed.
    Results: A total of 213 RMS and 61 PPMS patients were enrolled; 115 RMS and 29 PPMS patients had been treated according to the SID regimen, whilst 98 RMS and 32 PPMS patients were included in the EID cohort. Average follow-up after delay was 1.28 ± 0.7 years in the EID cohort. In RMS, comparing SID and EID patients, no differences were found considering the occurrence of clinical relapses (9.6% vs. 16.3%, p = 0.338), magnetic resonance imaging activity (9.8% vs. 14.1%, p = 0.374) or disability progression (11.3% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.103). Similar findings were observed in PPMS patients. In the pooled EID group, treatment delay correlated with CD19-positive relative (r = 0.530, p < 0.001) and absolute (r = 0.491, p < 0.001) cell counts, without implications on disease activity.
    Conclusions: Sporadic ocrelizumab administration delay granted sustained treatment efficacy in our cohort. Prospective data should be obtained to confirm these observations and set up systematic extended-interval regimens.

    Abstract Aging accounts for increased risk and dismal outcome of ischemic stroke. Here, we investigated the impact of age-related changes in the immune system on stroke. Upon experimental stroke, compared with young mice, aged mice had increased neutrophil clogging of the ischemic brain microcirculation, leading to worse no-reflow and outcomes. Aged mice showed an enhanced granulopoietic response to stroke that led to the accumulation of CD101

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system (CNS) disorder, which is mediated by an abnormal immune response coordinated by T and B cells resulting in areas of inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss. Disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) are available to dampen the inflammatory aggression but are ineffective in many patients. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been used as treatment in patients with a highly active disease, achieving a long-term clinical remission in most. The rationale of the intervention is to eradicate inflammatory autoreactive cells with lympho-ablative regimens and restore immune tolerance. Immunological studies have demonstrated that autologous HSCT induces a renewal of TCR repertoires, resurgence of immune regulatory cells, and depletion of proinflammatory T cell subsets, suggesting a "resetting" of immunological memory. Although our understanding of the clinical and immunological effects of autologous HSCT has progressed, further work is required to characterize the mechanisms that underlie treatment efficacy. Considering that memory B cells are disease-promoting and stem-like T cells are multipotent progenitors involved in self-regeneration of central and effector memory cells, investigating the reconstitution of B cell compartment and stem and effector subsets of immunological memory following autologous HSCT could elucidate those mechanisms. Since all subjects need to be optimally protected from vaccine-preventable diseases (including COVID-19), there is a need to ensure that vaccination in subjects undergoing HSCT is effective and safe. Additionally, the study of vaccination in HSCT-treated subjects as a means of evaluating immune responses could further distinguish broad immunosuppression from immune resetting.
