Exclusive-Teva Faces EU Fine for Disparaging Rival Multiple Sclerosis Medicine, Sources Say
AI SummaryThe world’s largest generic drugmaker, Teva, is facing an EU antitrust fine for disparaging a rival multiple sclerosis medicine, according to sources. This action highlights the importance of fair competition and the consequences of negative practices in the pharmaceutical industry.Teva, the world’s largest generic drugmaker, will be hit with an EU antitrust fine in… Continue reading Exclusive-Teva Faces EU Fine for Disparaging Rival Multiple Sclerosis Medicine, Sources Say
Circadian Motor Improvement in MS and Core Body Temperature Dipping
AI SummaryThe case report discusses a man with multiple sclerosis and insomnia who experienced improved motor function during nighttime awakenings compared to daytime. This suggests a potential link between circadian rhythms, motor function, and core body temperature dipping in multiple sclerosis patients. This finding could have implications for understanding the relationship between sleep disturbances and… Continue reading Circadian Motor Improvement in MS and Core Body Temperature Dipping
Meningeal lymphatic function promotes oligodendrocyte survival and brain myelination
The neurophysiological processes regulated by meningeal lymphatic function remain unclear. das Neves et al. showed that meningeal lymphatic dysfunction leads to loss of mature oligodendrocytes and demyelination in the brain. Defective meningeal lymphatics incited a neuroinflammatory environment that limited oligodendrocyte replenishment after a demyelinating insult. This work might have therapeutic implications for the central nervous system demyelinating autoimmune disorders.
Specialized Brain Cells Found to Drive Multiple Sclerosis
AI SummaryThe article discusses how specialized brain cells, specifically glial cells, are found to drive the progression of Multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous research focused on immune cells attacking the myelin sheath around nerves, but this study demonstrates that glial cells within the brain contribute to MS development and progression. Researchers have converted stem cells from… Continue reading Specialized Brain Cells Found to Drive Multiple Sclerosis
Molecular mechanism behind MS and other autoimmune diseases
AI SummaryThe article discusses the molecular mechanism behind autoimmune diseases, focusing on the role of regulatory T cells and the protein PRDM1-S in causing conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS). The dysfunction of these regulatory T cells is linked to genetic and environmental factors, such as high salt intake. The research findings could lead to a… Continue reading Molecular mechanism behind MS and other autoimmune diseases
COVID Vaccine and MS Relapse Risk: New Data
AI SummaryThis article discusses new data showing that COVID-19 vaccination does not increase the risk of multiple sclerosis relapse, except in individuals with high MS activity.COVID-19 vaccination was not associated with increased risk for multiple sclerosis relapse, except in those with high MS activity.

The role of the gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis: A scientometric analysis reveals key research trends
AI SummaryThe article examines the relationship between gut microbiota and multiple sclerosis through a scientometric analysis from 2010 to 2023. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The human gut microbiota plays a critical role in bidirectional communication with the CNS. Despite previous studies… Continue reading The role of the gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis: A scientometric analysis reveals key research trends
Study reveals ways in which 40Hz sensory stimulation may preserve brain’s “white matter”
AI SummaryIn a study conducted by MIT researchers, it was found that 40Hz sensory stimulation can preserve myelination in the brain, which is essential for optimal brain function. This stimulation helps protect the white matter in the brain and sustain the insulation of axons. It also aids in maintaining neural circuit connections, reducing inflammation, promoting… Continue reading Study reveals ways in which 40Hz sensory stimulation may preserve brain’s “white matter”
New histone tag discovery offers hope for myelin repair in neurodegenerative diseases
AI SummaryThe research study by CUNY ASRC has discovered a new histone tag, lysine 8 acetylation on histone H4, in adult OPCs that may lead to innovative therapies for myelin repair in neurodegenerative diseases. This finding addresses the challenge of translating neonatal OPC research into adult brain therapies and offers potential new treatments for conditions… Continue reading New histone tag discovery offers hope for myelin repair in neurodegenerative diseases
