Researchers discover that the nerve cells that make us uniquely human are also uniquely vulnerable to dying during the waves ...

Multiple sclerosis, a complex neurological condition affecting nearly 3 million people worldwide, has long been characterized by its elusiveness. Even as medical imaging technology has advanced ...

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain's wiring. Scientists paid ...

What causes gray matter loss in Multiple Sclerosis? New research identifies DNA damage in CUX2 neurons as a primary driver of MS progression.

In the human brain, neurofilament light chain (NfL, shown in brown) is seen in brain cells and the neural wires that connect them. UCSF researchers found NfL in the bloodstream of patients who would ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why. Researchers found that inflammation in the brain disrupts the energy supply of ...

Using an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how lesions similar to those seen in human MS form. These findings provide a window ...

For decades, multiple sclerosis (MS) has been defined primarily by its symptoms, rather than its underlying biology. Now, a new study aims to challenge that approach, presenting evidence that MS may ...

Now, by analyzing thousands of proteins found in the blood, scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have created what they view as the clearest picture yet of when the ...
