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

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.

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 new discovery is bringing light to a neglected corner of multiple sclerosis (MS) research by revealing how 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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a specific class of brain neurons that dies during multiple sclerosis because inflammation ...
