Findings from a retrospective study comparing typical and myelocortical multiple sclerosis (MS) identified major pathological differences between the 2 MS subtypes and determined that demyelination ...

Myelin is a protective layer that forms around nerves to insulate them and speed transmission of electrical impulses. Demyelination, loss of this insulating layer, contributes to many neurological ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The correlation between age and contrast-enhancing lesions “is a general phenomenon” across the MS spectrum of ...

Demyelination – a term that might sound like scientific jargon but has real-world implications for many. Demyelination occurs when the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, ...

A preclinical study by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown why some people with multiple sclerosis, or MS, also suffer from seizures — a debilitating ...

DEMYELINATION is an important pathological process affecting nerve fibres. It is characterized histologically by destruction of the myelin sheath with preservation of axis cylinder continuity. The ...

Inhibiting an immune signaling protein called TLR7 may help preserve the protective layer surrounding nerve fibers in the brain during both Alzheimer's disease and ordinary aging, suggests a study led ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is the most common chronic immune-mediated neuropathy. It affects peripheral nerves and roots. CIDP has no biomarkers. It may be monophasic or ...

Odia music composer Abhijit Majumdar died at 54 after a prolonged illness and complications, including chronic liver disease ...

Demyelination – the loss or damage of the myelin that surrounds and insulates nerves – is the hallmark of the neurological disorder multiple sclerosis (MS). When segments of this protective membrane ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is an immune-mediated neuropathy that affects the peripheral motor and sensory nerves. The symptoms are of a slowly progressive numbness and tingling ...
