Two experimental drug molecules promoted myelin repair in MS disease models, pointing toward a possible future route for ...

Summary: A multinational clinical trial demonstrated that a novel antibody, NG101, successfully preserves existing nerve tissue and accelerates the regression of spinal cord lesions following acute ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the early detection and better monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS). The method maps the myelin sheaths in ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system targets the myelin sheath coating nerves.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is most prevalent in Northern Europe and Canada, and more common in the northernmost latitudes. In recent years, the number of cases has grown, particularly among women. The ...

Pictured are neurons in cross section, with the surrounding myelin sheaths in darker shade. Autoimmune responses associated with MS cause the destruction of these sheaths, impairing neuronal function.

The rectus sheath is made up of two parts, known as the posterior sheath and the anterior sheath. These sheaths are made of fibers of the transversus abdominis, internal abdominal oblique (IAO), and ...

Wound dressing, tissue scaffolding, controlled and sustained drug delivery, and cardiac patching are all biomedical processes requiring a material that combines strength with functionality.

Improved MRI scans of the myelin sheaths in the brain should allow multiple sclerosis to be detected at an early stage. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that usually leads to ...
