Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves the progressive loss of the protective layer of nerve fibers, myelin, and its loss, called demyelination, results in symptoms of MS. Blocking the protein receptor, ...

Ari Green, MD, of the University of California, San Francisco, details the benefits of remyelination for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as the challenges faced when conducting ...

Two papers by UB researchers reveal important new findings as to how regeneration of myelin in multiple sclerosis fails and, potentially, more efficient ways to treat it. The findings include the ...

Remyelination is the regeneration of myelin—a substance that makes up about a third of the brain. Scientists are honing in on drugs that promote remyelination that could be used to treat conditions ...

The therapeutic landscape for multiple sclerosis (MS) is evolving beyond modulating the peripheral immune response. New strategies are now focussed on reducing inflammation and promoting the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Two papers by University at Buffalo researchers reveal important new findings as to how regeneration of myelin in multiple sclerosis fails and, potentially, more efficient ways to ...

The loss of myelin in the cerebral cortex of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients could be recovered if oligodendrocytes, the cells that myelinate neuronal axons, work at a higher rate than they are ...
