In a breakthrough that could revolutionize how multiple sclerosis is treated, scientists have discovered two new subtypes of MS with the help of artificial intelligence, according to a report in The Guardian published December 30, 2025.
Multiple sclerosis affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, but until now, the disease has been broadly categorized into just a few types. The new AI-driven analysis of patient data revealed distinct molecular patterns that had been invisible to traditional diagnostic methods.
