Researchers have found that new myelin-making cells are constantly being made in the brain and spinal cord, even in the ...

A brain protein called ANO2 has emerged as a new piece of the puzzle linking Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections and MS ...

Multiple sclerosis may quietly damage the brain for years before symptoms appear, and scientists can now see it coming.

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), according to new research from Karolinska Institutet, published ...

MS is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibres in the brain ...

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 ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a mechanistic link between viral infection and multiple sclerosis (MS). Insights ...

Brain-meningeal immunity is increasingly recognized as a central player in the complex network of interactions within the central nervous system (CNS).

Alcohol and MS both affect the central nervous system. Short-term effects of drinking can include balance issues, fatigue, ...
