Multiple sclerosis may quietly damage the brain for years before symptoms appear, and scientists can now see it coming.

Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now made the first-ever "live" observations of how this protective layer is formed. The team ...

Demyelinating diseases are any conditions that damage the protective coating on nerve cells, the myelin sheath. Some common demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system include multiple ...

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of ...

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system erroneously attacks a protective insulation that surrounds neurons ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological disease that usually causes permanent disability. Approximately 2.9 million people are affected worldwide, 240,000 in Germany alone. The exact cause ...
