Molecule linked to autoimmune disease relapses identified at Stanford
The ebb and flow of such autoimmune diseases as multiple sclerosis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis has long been a perplexing mystery. view more (2006-12-04)
McGill/JGH researchers successfully reverse multiple sclerosis in animals
A new experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) completely reverses the devastating autoimmune disorder in mice, and might work exactly the same way in humans, say researchers at the Jewish General Hospital Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research and McGill University in Montreal. view more (2009-08-12)
DNA vaccine against multiple sclerosis appears safe, potentially beneficial
A newly developed DNA vaccine appears safe and may produce beneficial changes in the brains and immune systems of individuals with multiple sclerosis. view more (2007-08-14)
Fighting tumors with mathematics
To the effective removal of cancerous lesions by hard x-rays a precise radiation plan is indispensable. The malignant growth should be hit with the highest possible dose of radiation while minimizing the dose to the surrounding healthy tissue. The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg is currently developing an improved approach using... view more... (2002-09-09)
Drug reverses mental retardation caused by genetic disorder
UCLA researchers discovered that an FDA-approved drug reverses the brain dysfunction inflicted by a genetic disease called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). view more (2008-06-23)
Embryonic stem cell strategy advanced with UCSF finding
UCSF scientists are reporting what they say is a significant improvement in the technique for genetically reprogramming mouse cells to their embryonic state, a process that transforms the cells, in essence, into embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-09-11)
MS study offers theory for why repair of brain's wiring fails
Scientists have uncovered new evidence suggesting that damage to nerve cells in people with multiple sclerosis accumulates because the body's natural mechanism for repair of the nerve coating called "myelin" stalls out. view more (2009-07-01)
Combining multiple treatments improves multiple sclerosis therapy
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which white blood cells known as lymphocytes attack the myelin insulation on nerves in the spinal cord and brain. view more (2006-03-17)
Disease diagnosis in just 15 minutes
Testing for diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis could soon be as simple as using a pregnancy testing kit. view more (2008-10-02)
Motor neuron disease and toxic substances: Possible link?
Motor neuron disease is a rare, devastating illness in which nerve cells that carry brain signals to muscles gradually deteriorate. One form of it, Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), is familiar to the public in the lives of scientist Stephen Hawking and Morrie Schwartz, about whom Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with... view more...

Alleviating the burden of Multiple Sclerosis
Depression, coordination and speech problems, muscle weakness and disability are just a few of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). view more (2006-08-07)
New data show treatment of multiple sclerosis with AVONEX enhances quality of life
Results from a one-year prospective, observational study conducted to determine the impact of beginning treatment with AVONEX on MS patients' overall quality of life (QoL) were announced today. view more (2008-04-17)
Atomic force microscopy reveals liquids adjust viscosity when confined, shaken
Getting ketchup out of the bottle isn't always easy. However, shaking the bottle before trying to pour allows the thick, gooey ketchup to flow more freely because it becomes more fluid when agitated. The opposite is not typically true - a liquid such as water does not become a gel when shaken. view more (2008-04-30)
New imaging approach promises insights into multiple sclerosis
Researchers have developed a way to use three types of microscopic imaging techniques simultaneously to analyze living tissue and learn more about the molecular mechanisms of multiple sclerosis, information that could help lead to earlier detection and new treatments. view more (2007-04-18)
60 second test could help early diagnosis of common brain diseases
Until recently physicians have had to rely on time-consuming and uncertain behavioural examinations to diagnose the onset of brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. view more (2007-08-22)
Arbor Vita rapid H5N1 flu diagnostic presented at ICEID meeting
Preliminary research from the Department of Respiratory Disease Research at the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) suggests that a rapid antigen assay test developed by Arbor Vita Corporation (AVC) shows promise as a useful diagnostic for the detection of the avian influenza virus in humans. Researchers from NHRC reported their findings last week... view more... (2008-03-28)
Water table depth tied to droughts
Will there be another "dust bowl" in the Great Plains similar to the one that swept the region in the 1930s? view more (2008-09-30)
Gulf War research panel finds 1 in 4 veterans suffers from illness caused by toxic exposure
At least one in four of the 697,000 U.S. veterans of the 1991 Gulf War suffer from Gulf War illness, a condition caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, including pesticides and a drug administered to protect troops against nerve gas, and no effective treatments have yet been found, a federal panel of scientific experts and veterans concludes in a... view more...

Cigarette Smoking May Accelerate Disability in Those with MS
Persons with multiple sclerosis who smoke risk increasing the amount of brain tissue shrinkage, a consequence of MS, and the subsequent severity of their disease, new research conducted at the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center (BNAC) at the University at Buffalo has shown. view more (2007-10-15)
Drug studied as possible treatment for spinal injuries
Researchers have shown how an experimental drug might restore the function of nerves damaged in spinal cord injuries by preventing short circuits caused when tiny "potassium channels" in the fibers are exposed. view more (2009-11-20)
