Why does multiple sclerosis progress quickly in some people, while others remain stable for years? Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified biological patterns in ...

Now, by analyzing thousands of proteins found in the blood, scientists at UC San Francisco have created the clearest picture yet of when the disease attacks the myelin sheath that covers the nerve ...

One of the uncomfortable truths about multiple sclerosis is that the part of the brain likely to reveal the most about the disease and how a patient will be affected has been mostly invisible to ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why. Researchers found that inflammation in the brain disrupts the energy supply of ...

A team of scientists led by the Institute for Glial Sciences (IGS) at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine has discovered a built-in “brake” that controls when key brain cells mature.

A study using wearable scanning technology has revealed how brain function differs in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is the first study to use this newly developed technology in MS and ...

Using an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how lesions similar to those seen in human MS form. These findings provide a window ...

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 ...
