These cells normally attack viruses and bacteria, but in people with MS, they attack the covering around nerves in the brain and spinal cord known as the myelin sheath. Cladribine stops these cells ...

In MS patients, these cells mistakenly assault the myelin sheath encasing nerves in the brain and spinal cord. By preventing these cells from entering the brain or spinal cord, Cladribine halts ...

Myrobalan's experimental therapy MRO-002 is a GPR17 antagonist that's made to promote myelin repair in people with MS and ...

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the myelin sheath on nerves and has many symptoms. This year, Charleston's Walk will be Saturday, May 3rd. You can create your own team or ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a specific type of damage, called demyelination, to the central nervous system, including the spinal cord. MS is a neurological disease. It causes the immune system ...

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 ...

As shown in preclinical models of MS, it can directly stabilize the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers and thus provide protection from demyelination. MS is a disease characterized by ...

Myelin – produced by Schwann cells in the periphery and oligodendrocytes in the CNS – is defective in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and many myelin repair strategies aim to mitigate ...

Reich, M.D., Ph.D., NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke MS is caused by the body's immune system attacking the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin.

In people with multiple sclerosis (MS), lesions that get slowly bigger over time, potentially due to chronic inflammation, are associated with more myelin loss throughout the brain, a study found.
