Published in 2025 at "Advanced Science"

DOI: 10.1002/advs.202500942

Abstract: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by anti‐aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody‐mediated astrocyte damage and subsequent demyelination. Prior attempts to treat NMOSD with interferon‐beta (IFN‐β), a disease‐modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis, resulted… read more here.
