In a study of 115,803 individuals, the authors have identified 233 sites or loci in the human genome that contribute to the onset of MS. This is the largest study to date in MS. The International ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Evidence from family studies indicates a strong genetic component. Despite many studies of ...

Using an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how lesions similar to those seen in human MS form. These findings provide a window ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. It damages the myelin sheath, the tissue that surrounds and protects your nerve cells. This damage blocks or slows down ...
