In MS, slowly expanding lesions were linked to more myelin loss in brain regions of damage and in normal-appearing brain ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a specific type of damage, called demyelination, to the central nervous system, including the spinal cord. MS is a neurological disease. It causes the immune system ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease marked by focal demyelinating inflammatory plaques throughout the CNS. Neuro-ophthalmologic sequelae are common in MS and may arise from the disease itself or ...

Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient ...

Optic neuritis develops when MS begins to break down the protective coating surrounding your optic nerve, a process called demyelination. As MS progresses, demyelination becomes more widespread ...

"Medical Journeys" is a set of clinical resources reviewed by doctors, meant for physicians and other healthcare ...

Researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how MS-like lesions form, providing new insights into the earliest stages of the disease.

You disconnect your cell phone from its charger as you get ready for a busy day. But even though it has been connected all night, the battery is only partially charged. You look at ...

Multiple sclerosis, the prototype of demyelinating disease in man, is a relapsing-remitting or progressively disabling disease of unknown cause. The first pathological descriptions of the disease ...

Because these lesions can be induced experimentally, the model offers a look at the earliest stages of inflammation and immune responses that lead to MS-like demyelination. One key player identified ...
