DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...

Changes in NAWM and NAGM are crucial in MS progression, challenging the traditional lesion-centric model. Subtle alterations in myelin integrity, immune cell function, and neuronal connectivity ...

The amount of sugar in the brain plays a key role in governing the activity of the brain cells that make myelin, a study ...

New multiplexed imaging technology using standard clinical MRI systems can simultaneously map more than 20 biomarkers in high resolution, providing a comprehensive view of the brain with a single scan ...

NIH study reveals key players underlying disease onset and repair. Using an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have created a ...

Scientists have identified an unusual type of brain cell that may play a vital role in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), likely contributing to the persistent inflammation characteristic of the ...

In the human brain, neurofilament light chain (NfL, shown in brown) is seen in brain cells and the neural wires that connect them. UCSF researchers found NfL in the bloodstream of patients who would ...

An investigational drug for multiple sclerosis from Io Therapeutics has restored leg mobility and myelin nerve coatings in mice, the biotech announced Dec. 23. The Texas-based company conducted the ...
