Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

An investigational drug for multiple sclerosis from Io Therapeutics has restored leg mobility and myelin nerve coatings in mice, the biotech announced Dec. 23. The Texas-based company conducted the ...

Recent stem cell research could lead to a new way of treating inflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. New research into inflammatory diseases may have identified a way to treat MS. Multiple ...

Scientists from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the University of Edinburgh have discovered that a little-understood junction that connects neurons to oligodendrocyte precursor cells ...

An FDA-approved drug for high blood pressure, guanabenz, prevents myelin loss and alleviates clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models, according to a new study. The drug appears ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the early detection and better monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS). The method maps the myelin sheaths in ...

Researchers have created a compound, that when tested in mice, was able to promote the reconstruction of the myelin sheath surrounding neuronal axons. These findings could pave the way to a new ...

New MS treatments target myelin repair, neuroprotection, and CNS-resident immune cells, offering hope for progressive forms of the disease. Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) like tolebrutinib ...

In multiple sclerosis (MS), macrophages and microglia play a dual role that could be used to treat this neurodegenerative disease. These cells promote inflammation that demyelinates neurons but also ...
