Despite being one of the most common and well-known neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS) remains difficult to treat. However, new research from scientists at Cincinnati Children’s ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a compound that promotes repair of the nerve cell-protective myelin sheath that is damaged in diseases such as multiple sclerosis ...

Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the fatty sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Chronic ...

PALO ALTO, May 27, 2014 — Bionure Inc. today announced its drug candidate, BN201, was shown to promote myelination — the cellular process of repairing the protective sheath surrounding nerves that is ...

Mequon, Wisc., Sept. 27, 2013 – ENDECE Neural today announced that it has entered into a sponsored research agreement for funding from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society through Fast Forward.

Researchers hope that a more targeted retinoid acid X receptor compound could repair myelin without the adverse effects seen in every patient in this trial, which tested an already approved cancer ...

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a human antibody administered in a single low dose in laboratory mouse models can repair myelin, the insulating covering of nerves that when ...

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA) has awarded a grant of 1 million dollars to Dr. Isabel Pérez-Otaño, who leads the Plasticity and Remodeling of Neural Circuits laboratory at the Institute ...

Researchers have discovered a regulatory process that helps control the maturation of brain cells. This regulation seems to be defective in multiple sclerosis, disrupting the ability of cells to ...

Diseases such as multiple sclerosis are characterized by damage to the 'myelin sheath', a protective covering wrapped around nerve cells akin to insulation around an electrical wire. Researchers from ...
