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

Scientists say that blocking a protein called DLK could help protect against neurodegeneration of demyelinated nerve cells in ...

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

So far, however, it hasn't been possible to visualize the myelin sheaths well enough to reliably diagnose and treat MS. Now researchers at ETH Zurich, led by Markus Weiger and Emily Baadsvik from ...

Research indicates that certain enzymes in neurons play a role in mediating the toxic effects of diets high in palm oil.

With MS, the damage is in the myelin sheath that covers and protects your nerve fibers. With MG, your antibodies destroy the junction between your nerve and muscle cells. Similarities.

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus family, is best known for causing infectious mononucleosis, or ...

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, numbness is one of the most common symptoms of the disease. Another person who was diagnosed with MS said their thighs would feel like they were ...

MS is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. This inflammation damages myelin sheaths — the insulation that encases nerve cells' long "wires" — and leads ...

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

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a long-term disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective layer around nerve cells, known as the myelin sheath. The National Multiple Sclerosis ...

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.
