Scientists Discover How Multiple Sclerosis Kills Brain Cells
University of California - San Francisco
A hidden mechanism in MS may be damaging neurons at their genetic core, offering a potential new way to slow the disease.
For many years, research on multiple sclerosis (MS) has centered on myelin, the protective coating around the brain’s nerve fibers. At the same time, another form of damage has received far less attention. Neurons in the cortex, which support thinking and memory, have been steadily dying.
Researchers from UC San Francisco, the University of Cambridge, and Cedars-Sinai...
