Women who experienced childhood trauma had an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis later in life. The evidence suggests childhood abuse and trauma can alter the immune system and increase the risk of developing autoimmune diseases.
Researchers report those who experience chronic inflammation during middle may be at increased risk of developing cognitive and memory disorders during old age.
Ursolic acid, a compound abundant in fruit peels and some herbs, appears to decrease further neural damage and help regenerate myelin in mouse models of multiple sclerosis. Study reveals ursolic acid suppresses TH17 cells, which are one of the main drivers in the pathological autoimmune response of MS.
Researchers discover a way in which to prevent immune attacks on viruses used as therapeutic treatments.
Researchers have identified a link between multiple sclerosis and a decreased level of specific gut bacteria. Additionally, the study reveals those who consume more meat may be at increased risk of developing the autoimmune disorder.
Reducing dietary levels of methionine can slow the onset and progression of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, in those with high-risk factors.
Ceramide exposure impairs the ability for neurons to make energy by directly damaging mitochondria. Additionally, ceramides force neurons to rapidly uptake glucose in order to provide cellular energy.
Study finds no association between mineral levels or dietary mineral intake and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis.
The risk of developing mutliple sclerosis increases 32 fold following Epstein-Barr virus infection.
A new biomarker for fibromyalgia has been identified in blood samples taken from patients suffering from the condition.
PPCA treatment shown to provide therapeutic benefit in mouse models of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and multiple sclerosis.
