Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the ...

Researchers found a molecule, sulfuretin, can promote myelin repair, slowing disease progression in MS and some cancers.

Scientists have identified a natural compound that halts the process involved in the progression of certain forms of cancer ...

By snugly wrapping around neurons, these devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain, and might even ...

This inflammation damages myelin sheaths — the insulation that encases nerve cells' long "wires" — and leads to symptoms of pain, fatigue, numbness or weakness, as well as problems with vision ...

In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath—a protective layer surrounding nerve cells in the nervous ...

The innovative method, which was tested in mice, supports the development of cells that can repair the protective myelin coating around nerves, restoring their ability to conduct messages to the ...

Model developed in study will pave way for more discovery about important but mysterious process Ben Emery, Ph.D., and ...

MIT has developed light-activated cell-wearable devices that mimic myelin and restore neuron function, offering hope for ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease of the brain and spinal cord that impacts millions worldwide.

If you have MS, some B cells enter your brain and spinal cord and attack the myelin sheath that protects your nerves. B-cell therapy uses drugs called monoclonal antibodies to attack these cells.

Targeting ceramide synthase enzymes may reduce multiple sclerosis severity by limiting ceramide C16 synthesis, offering ...
