DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is most prevalent in Northern Europe and Canada, and more common in the northernmost latitudes. In ...

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 ...

The amount of sugar in the brain plays a key role in governing the activity of the brain cells that make myelin, a study ...

In a recent study published in Translational Psychiatr y, researchers pursued insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms governing neuropsychiatric symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study ...

The role that Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) plays in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) may be caused a higher level of cross-reactivity, where the body’s immune system binds to the wrong target, ...

The immune system is the frontline protection against infection, continually searching for and destroying unknown pathogens. While typical operation of the immune system scans for threats, some ...
