Senior linebacker Jordan Zaragoza has become a key player for the United Longhorns, overcoming a serious health scare to lead the defense.

This study uncovers the ketogenic diet's effects on the microbiome, revealing its potential to mitigate autoimmune diseases ...

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. According to estimates, 1 to 3 in 100,000 people are affected.

The investigators focused on brain cells called human oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which can transform into the cells that generate myelin: oligodendrocytes. However, in MS, inflammation ...

Early treatment of the first MOGAD acute attack may prevent future relapses and reduce long-term humoral autoimmunity in patients.

Mapping cell types in MS lesions reveals unique tissue niches and interactions, offering insights into the molecular drivers ...

Oligodendrocytes generate myelin. Hoffman, a nun and chemistry professor who earlier this year retired from the University of Portland after 35 years to lead her convent, began collaborating with ...

In some cases, the body also attacks another protein known as myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. This activates other parts of the immune system and causes inflammation and damage to myelin.

Oligodendrocytes generate myelin. Hoffman, a nun and chemistry professor who earlier this year retired from the University of Portland after 35 years to lead her convent, began collaborating with ...

The mechanisms underlying myelin damage in AD involve oligodendrocyte dysfunction, which can lead to the breakdown of myelin sheaths. This breakdown not only affects neuronal health but may also ...
