Discover how the brain "eats" itself during a marathon, and how the recovery process opens doors to possible MS treatments.

Anti-CD20 therapies, a type of MS treatment, changes levels and profiles of several immune cells in people with MS, a study ...

We just returned from a reunion in Idaho with some of my closest cousins and their families. One especially poignant visit ...

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

While there is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis, researchers continue to discover clues to give a better ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...

UC Riverside study may lead to new treatments for multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 ...

Myelin sheath, a sleeve that protects a part of your nerve cells, and how it's related to multiple sclerosis. Read to learn more about its functions and how to protect it from damage.

Another approach, they argue, is to consider MS as primarily or initially a neurodegenerative disorder, and the death of neurons releases myelin, triggering a secondary autoimmune reaction.

Scientists have developed a new treatment that may help regenerate myelin around nerve cells, and potentially reverse the damage caused by multiple sclerosis (MS).

A 26.2-mile run can do some damage to the brain, a study shows, but the impact is temporary and reversible. A group of researchers studied how marathon running impacts the brain by conducting MRIs ...

Each neuron is wrapped in myelin, a protective coating like the plastic sheath around a copper electrical wire. But ... PhD, made a startling discovery: The over-the-counter antihistamine clemastine ...
