New Clues to Origin and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis
A new study sheds light on the role oligodendrocytes play in the development and progression of multiple sclerosis.... Read More...
How Salt Can Trigger Inflammation in Multiple Sclerosis
A new study reports salt could be a possible trigger for inflammation in multiple sclerosis. Researchers report cells in a high salt environment show activation of the beta catenin/Wnt signaling pathway, a pathway previously implicated in disrupting regulatory T cells and triggering inflammation....

‘Missing in Action’ Multiple Sclerosis Genes Discovered
Researchers have identified four new genes that act independently as risk factors for multiple sclerosis.... Read More...
Environmental Factors May Trigger Multiple Sclerosis Onset
Researchers report environmental conditions may trigger structural changes to myelin sheaths, forcing the onset of multiple sclerosis.... Read More...
Link Between Gut Flora and Multiple Sclerosis Discovered
A new study reports T cells are activated in the intestines and migrate to the brain, causing an inflammatory cascade that may lead to multiple sclerosis. Researchers say the gut microbiome may play a more significant role in the development and progression of MS than previously believed.... Read More...
Brain’s Lymphatic Vessels May Be New Treatment Avenue for Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers have discovered lymphatic vessels carry previously unknown messages from the brain to the immune system that triggers multiple sclerosis. Blocking the messages may provide new treatment options for the disease.... Read More...
Possible New Ways to Regenerate Myelin
Researchers successfully used a synthetic compound to stimulate a receptor pathway to promote remyelination in the brain. The technique may have significant beneficial implications for treating multiple sclerosis, researchers say.... Read More...
Exercise Means Much More than Moving for Those with Multiple Sclerosis
For people with multiple sclerosis, exercise and physical activity mean much more than simply keeping fit. Researchers say exercise helps those with MS better cope with their condition and helps to maintain their identity beyond their diagnosis. ... Read More...
Vitamin D No Defense Against Dementia or MS
Researchers report they have found little convincing evidence to support the claim vitamin D is a neuroprotective agent.... Read More...
Can Fasting Improve Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms?
A new study reveals intermittent fasting successfully reduces multiple sclerosis like symptoms. Mice who fasted every other day were less likely to develop motor problems associated with the disease.... Read More...
Mechanism Controlling Multiple Sclerosis Risk Identified
Researchers have identified a new mechanism of a risk gene for multiple sclerosis that triggers the disease via epigentic regulation. The study reports a protective genetic variant can reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis through the same mechanism.... Read More...
