Researchers from Tel Aviv University say that muscle endurance tests can help detect abnormalities in mobility at the early stages of multiple sclerosis. Dr. Alon Kalron and his team of researchers from Tel Aviv University’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine as well as from the Multiple Sclerosis Centre in Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer have found out [...]

With multiple sclerosis still considered as one of those conditions without a cure, researchers are trying hard to find different means in order to find the best available treatment. A new study is suggesting that it might be possible to reverse the ageing in the central nervous system which may help in regenerating damaged myelin [...]
Researchers may have found some proof regarding the link between virus and multiple sclerosis. Researchers at Queen Mary, University of London have shown in a study just how a particular virus can trick the immune system into triggering inflammation that can cause damage to the nerve cells in the brain which is typically what happens [...]
While multiple sclerosis may be considered as an autoimmune disease for a long time now, that view might change, in light of an article recently published in the December issue of The Quarterly Review of Biology. According to the paper, MS might be considered as a metabolic disorder instead of as an autoimmune disease where [...]
A study has suggested evidence that MS may not only cause damage as a result of the visible lesions that the said disease can create. It may also affect other areas of the brain responsible for cognitive, motor as well as sensory functions. The results of the study are published in The Journal of Neuroscience.
Radiology [...]

Researchers have discovered a new means of monitoring the progression of the debilitating disease, multiple sclerosis. Researchers made use of a powerful MRI with three times the strength to keep track of the increasing levels of iron found in brain tissue.
Researchers from the University of Alberta have discovered increasing iron levels in the gray matter [...]
Medical experts previously believed that multiple sclerosis may develop from deep inside the brain going out. But researchers have recently discovered that this may not be the case. There are also indications that MS may develop from the outermost parts of the brain going deeper.
A collaborative effort between researchers from Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland [...]
An oral drug called laquinimod has been undergoing clinical trial and has so far been effective in treating relapsing-remitting MS. But the mechanism behind its effective treatment of MS has not been fully understood by researchers. A recent study on the oral MS drug will provide added insight on how the said drug works in [...]
A new multiple sclerosis drug has been showing quite a promise in reducing relapse rates in people who suffer from the said disease. The experimental MS drug called alemtuzumab (Lemtrada) from Genzyme has been showing that it can reduce relapse rates of MS by as much as 50 percent. It is also seen to be [...]
Researchers have identified a potential biomarker that can be used to diagnose for certain degenerative brain conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Certain changes exhibited by tissues located at the junction of the outer and inner layers of the brain called “blurring” may indicate the level of cognitive decline and may be used for early diagnosis [...]
