Story summary

Scientists at University College London identified two new subtypes of multiple sclerosis using artificial intelligence.
The study analyzed data from 600 patients, focusing on serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels and MRI scans.
The first subtype, early sNfL, shows aggressive progression, while the second, late sNfL, shows slower deterioration.
Experts say the finding could enable personalized treatment by targeting the underlying biology of MS, potentially improving outcomes for patients worldwide.
