Atrophy of the cortex in MS patients is associated with permanent worsening of disability, such as cognitive decline, visual impairment, weakness and sensory loss. No currently available treatments ...

Scientists are testing a drug that may offer hope for reversing nerve damage in MS. MANICO/Getty Images When immune cells attack the myelin sheath, this causes inflammation and interrupts the passage ...

Despite being one of the most common and well-known neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS) remains difficult to treat. However, new research from scientists at Cincinnati Children’s ...

Effective targeted treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and even the repair of damaged nerves caused by the disease could soon be within grasp, thanks to yet another breakthrough in the field of small ...

Ten years of work, and a little help from the green mamba snake, has resulted in a promising new drug that is already being tested in clinical trials. Multiple sclerosis (MS) degrades the protective ...

In multiple sclerosis (MS), macrophages and microglia play a dual role that could be used to treat this neurodegenerative disease. These cells promote inflammation that demyelinates neurons but also ...

Advanced MRI techniques can differentiate between degenerative and reparative processes in MS lesions, offering insights into disease progression. Quantitative MRI (qMRI) provides detailed biophysical ...

A decade after scientists identified an over-the-counter antihistamine as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, researchers have developed an approach to measure the drug's effectiveness in repairing ...

An FDA-approved drug for high blood pressure, guanabenz, prevents myelin loss and alleviates clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models, according to a new study. The drug appears ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). While sufferers can experience long periods of remission where common symptoms ...

Treating a mouse model of multiple sclerosis with the pregnancy hormone estriol reversed the breakdown of myelin in the brain’s cortex, a key region affected in multiple sclerosis, according to a new ...
