An international team of researchers led by Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that a cell type in the central nervous system known as oligodendrocytes might have a different role in the ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

Researchers have discovered a regulatory process that helps control the maturation of brain cells. This regulation seems to be defective in multiple sclerosis, disrupting the ability of cells to ...

New research may help scientists locate immature cells in the central nervous system that could shed light on the causes of neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis - and autoimmune disease ...

Fresh insights into the types of cells found in the brains of people with multiple sclerosis could help develop improved therapies, research has found. The study focused on cells in the brain that ...

Existing multiple sclerosis therapies systematically modulate the immune system to dampen its erroneous attack on the protective myelin sheaths around nerve cells, which is the hallmark of the ...

A team of scientists from the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute and Case Western Reserve University has created the largest reported collection of stem cell models from multiple ...

An international team of researchers has discovered that a cell type in the central nervous system known as oligodendrocytes might have a different role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system. Now, a new study from the University of Rochester has shown that its effects may be prevented and even ...

Glial cells play several key roles in the central nervous system, including supplying oxygen to neurons and forming myelin—the protective, fatty substance that protects the nerve cells’ axons. In ...
