Newly Discovered Immune Cells Play Role in Inflammatory Brain Diseases
Studying animal models, researchers have identified previously unknown types of immune cells that are present in the brains of those with multiple sclerosis. ... Read More...
Old Cells Repair Damage in Brains of Those with Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers discovered oligodendrocyte neurogenesis is limited in the brains of patients with Multiple Sclerosis. However, oligodendrocytes that survive the autoimmune attack associated with MS may be able to form new myelin.... Read More...
Shedding Light on Brain Cell Changes in Multiple Sclerosis
A new study sheds light on brain cells implicated in multiple sclerosis. Researchers found there are several types of oligodendrocytes, and the ratio of these cells differ significantly in those with MS. The findings could help develop new targeted treatments for progressive multiple sclerosis.... Read More...
Helping Cells to Help Themselves May Benefit Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers have discovered how the body is able to initiate repair mechanisms which can limit the extent of damage to the myelin sheath. The findings could help with the development of new therapies for multiple sclerosis.... Read More...
A Patient’s Sex Matters When it Comes to Brain Cancer
Researchers report our gender can determine longevity and response to treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer. The study reports male survival is determined by genes that control cell division, where as female survival is often determine by genes that regulate the ability of cancer cells to migrate to different brain areas....
