Researchers at Mount Sinai have discovered that cross-talk between brain cells and peripheral immune cells can modulate the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The findings reveal a previously ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated, neurodegenerative condition that results in progressive accumulation of disability over the course of the disease. MS presents heterogeneously, ...

For decades, multiple sclerosis (MS) has been defined primarily by its symptoms, rather than its underlying biology. Now, a new study aims to challenge that approach, presenting evidence that MS may ...

A meta-analysis of 3 case-controlled MS studies showed an association between susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) and the vitamin D pathway. Genetic variation in vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding ...

Cross-talk between brain cells and peripheral immune cells can modulate the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS), Mount Sinai researchers have discovered. Their findings reveal a previously unknown ...

The astroglia (a class of neural cells) of patients with MS overproduce a channel protein known as connexin 43. This overproduction facilitates the release of pro-inflammatory chemicals that trigger a ...

Biomedical scientists reports a drug -- an estrogen receptor ligand called indazole chloride (IndCl) -- has the potential to improve vision in patients with multiple sclerosis, or MS. The study was ...

Scientists have identified a novel molecular pathway that may link salt intake to MS risk. Ina Peters/Stocksy The study also found that higher dietary salt intake activates this molecular pathway in ...
