(Boston) — The breakdown of myelin, the insulating layer around brain cells that supports brain function, is prevalent in a range of neurodegenerative diseases, aging and because of various forms of ...

The ComSLI method uses simple tools to generate detailed images of brain nerve fibers and damage in neurological diseases, ...

Proteomics helped uncover molecular signatures of multiple sclerosis up to seven years before symptom onset, paving the way ...

Hypertension damages brain cells long before blood pressure rises, revealing early risks for memory loss and cognitive ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A preclinical study by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown why some people with multiple sclerosis, or MS, also suffer from seizures — a ...

A combination of metformin, a common diabetes drug, and clemastine, an antihistamine, can help repair myelin—the protective coating around nerves, which gets damaged in multiple sclerosis (MS) causing ...

Aging is associated with progressive white matter degeneration, which impairs brain structure and function. Defects in myelinating glial cells, combined with chronic neuroinflammation, contribute to ...

Case Western University scientists were gifted $2.5 million to advance MS research into whether glial cells can be targeted to repair myelin.
