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

A technology aims to be a "wearable" device for neurons, wrapping around individual nerve fibers to better study and treat ...

A first healthy adults group has been dosed in an early clinical trial of an oral and myelin-protective treatment for all ...

This valuable contribution combines high-resolution histology with magnetic resonance imaging in a novel way to study the organisation of the human amygdala. The main findings convincingly show the ...

This inflammation damages myelin sheaths — the insulation that encases ... to evaluate other immune cell types that are ...

Myelin is the protective sheath covering each nerve cell's axon—the threadlike portion of a cell that transmits electrical signals between cells. Damage to myelin is associated with MS ...

The Department of Pathology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine actively integrates research into the mechanisms of diseases at the genetic, molecular and cellular levels with clinical ...

Researchers have found a process by which the brain guards against attack by the immune system. In mice with multiple sclerosis, such 'guardian' proteins that train the immune system were drastically ...
