Researchers discover that the nerve cells that make us uniquely human are also uniquely vulnerable to dying during the waves ...

While the DNA sequence remains the same throughout a person’s life, the expression of the encoded genes may change with time and contribute to disease development in genetically predisposed ...

A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.

A hidden mechanism in MS may be damaging neurons at their genetic core, offering a potential new way to slow the disease.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) includes both peripheral and central nervous system (CNS) inflammation, and an anti-inflammatory small molecule therapy that can cross the blood-brain barrier may be attractive ...

A biological, mechanism-based framework to reclassify multiple sclerosis (MS) types was proposed by the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis. The approach lays the ...

Scientists have identified a novel molecular pathway that may link salt intake to MS risk. Ina Peters/Stocksy The study also found that higher dietary salt intake activates this molecular pathway in ...

Researchers have demonstrated how B cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can contribute to a pathogenic, inflammatory phenotype that contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS); the group has ...

Certain MS-driving immune cells express a protein marker called CD29, which helps these cells move into the brain and trigger inflammation.

Multiple sclerosis affects millions of people worldwide, though its underlying causes, and the physiological factors that trigger it remain unclear. Recently, however, researchers are looking to the ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by the interaction between environmental factors, such as high dietary salt intake, and genetic risk factors. When regulatory T cells, ...
