After menopause, women with multiple sclerosis experienced accelerated volume loss in global gray matter, the left hippocampus, and the left anterior cingulate, highlighting the menopausal transition ...

There may be two distinct subtypes of multiple sclerosis, according to a new study led by scientists at University College London (UCL). The finding, if validated, could help doctors provide more ...

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of them, it remains unclear why this process begins. Researchers have now ...

In the human brain, neurofilament light chain (NfL, shown in brown) is seen in brain cells and the neural wires that connect them. UCSF researchers found NfL in the bloodstream of patients who would ...

Changes in NAWM and NAGM are crucial in MS progression, challenging the traditional lesion-centric model. Subtle alterations in myelin integrity, immune cell function, and neuronal connectivity ...

Scientists have identified an unusual type of brain cell that may play a vital role in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), likely contributing to the persistent inflammation characteristic of the ...

In contrast to traditional measures, such as an increase or worsening of lesions or overall brain atrophy, to signal progression of multiple sclerosis (MS), investigators are proposing atrophied ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why. Researchers found that inflammation in the brain disrupts the energy supply of ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help interpret and assess how well treatments are working for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been developed by UCL researchers. AI uses ...
