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

In the human brain, neurofilament light chain (NfL, shown in brown) is seen in brain cells and the neural wires that connect them. UCSF researchers found NfL in the bloodstream of patients who would ...

New research suggests that balance and coordination problems in multiple sclerosis may begin when key brain cells slowly run out of energy.

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...

The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple ...

Scientists have identified an unusual type of brain cell that may play a vital role in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), likely contributing to the persistent inflammation characteristic of the ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

Artificial intelligence (AI), using a simple blood test combined with standard brain images has, for the first time, been able to identify two biologically distinct types of multiple sclerosis (MS), ...

Now, by analyzing thousands of proteins found in the blood, scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have created what they view as the clearest picture yet of when the ...
