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

A new multiple sclerosis (MS) research project designed to help the brain repair itself by activating its own healing ...

MS is a neurological disease. It causes the immune system to attack and destroy myelin, a protective fatty tissue surrounding nerve cells. This process, called demyelination, affects the function ...

With MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, which is the protective coating that lines the nerves. Read on to learn about why MS can cause tingling, what it feels like, how to manage it ...

MS is caused by the body's immune system attacking the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin. This leads to inflammation, loss of myelin, and formation of "lesions" or "plaques" within ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the myelin covering (myelin sheath) of your nerves. Eventually, this causes damage to the nerves ...

Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the fatty sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
