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 ...

Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), including multiple sclerosis (MS) and related inflammatory and degenerative disorders, represent ...

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 ...

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 ...

New study findings have identified a subtype of multiple sclerosis—myelocortical multiple sclerosis—that has neuronal loss but no demyelination of the brain’s white matter, indicating that ...

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, ...

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 ...

Pembrolizumab and nivolumab, two humanized antibodies against programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor, were recently approved for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma and for other ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Two papers by University at Buffalo researchers reveal important new findings as to how regeneration of myelin in multiple sclerosis fails and, potentially, more efficient ways to ...

A new subtype of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been proposed that supports the concept that neurodegeneration and demyelination can occur independently in the disease. Known as myelocortical multiple ...
