Australian researchers are using lab-grown “mini brains” to investigate new ways to repair myelin, the protective coating surrounding nerve cells that is lost in multiple sclerosis (MS). The 3D lab models, grown from human stem cells, will allow researchers to study how myelin forms naturally in the human…

Following every training exercise and mission I was ever a part of in the military, participants gathered to conduct an After-Action Review (AAR). Although the process has been formalized in the U.S. military, soldiers have probably been doing something similar for millennia, and it’s certainly not limited to that profession.

Under-the-skin (subcutaneous) injections of Tysabri (natalizumab) allow people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) to receive treatment much faster, more conveniently, and with less disruption to daily life than the original into-the-vein (intravenous) form, a study found. Use of the subcutaneous formulation, which is approved in the European…

People diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to eat healthier diets and take more vitamin supplements than those without the chronic autoimmune disease, according to a new study in Egypt. “MS patients showed a different dietary pattern characterised by higher micronutrient and supplement intake, most likely reflecting post-diagnosis behavioural…

A small molecule called CN045 may help repair myelin — the protective coating around nerve fibers that is damaged in multiple sclerosis (MS) — according to a new preclinical study. Researchers found that CN045 promoted the maturation of myelin-making cells in lab tests and modestly increased remyelination, the process…
