Researchers identified key differences between two widely used multiple sclerosis models, showing how each can better study myelin damage, immune responses, and repair. The findings may improve efforts to develop treatments that restore lost myelin. More than 1 million people in the United States are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that damages the [...]

Two experimental drug molecules promoted myelin repair in MS disease models, pointing toward a possible future route for treating nerve damage rather than only suppressing inflammation. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the leading causes of neurological disability in young adults, affecting nearly three million people worldwide. Despite decades of research and major advances in [...]

A newly discovered mechanism that protects nerve cells could have important implications for understanding and treating mental illness. When laboratory mice experience brain injury, such as damage caused by an injection, researchers have repeatedly observed that a specific group of cells quickly appears near the affected area and becomes active. Jan Deussing, a research group [...]
