A new type of stem cell therapy for MS seems effective, but the side effects can be catastrophic.
Orkney’s ultra-high incidence has been linked to the weak northern sun. So how come the more northern Shetlands are less afflicted?
There have been some promising initial results for a new MS stem cell treatment, but time will tell if it goes further.
The risks of UV radiation exposure are well-known, but some scientists are exploring lesser-known benefits of UV light.
Before the last round of negotiations, only a handful of issues remained in the way of concluding the TPP. A potential deal-breaker for Australia was intellectual property protections for biologics.
Prevalence of MS in some areas and not others have led researchers to investigate whether there’s a link between the disease and a lack of vitamin D.
A novel molecule has been used to target stem cells to damaged tissues within the body, allowing more efficient cell therapy for the treatment of arthritis, Crohn’s, cardiovascular disease and MS
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease affecting almost 25,000 Australians and more than 2.4 million people worldwide. It’s one of the leading causes of disability in young adults. Typically, the…
The immune system is there to protect us from threats and infections. But to be healthy, it also needs to be tolerant of an individual’s own tissues that are harmless. If it can’t do this, the immune system…
A molecule in parasitic worms could explain why some worm infections can treat a range of autoimmune diseases, including…
Scientists have identified 48 previously unknown genetic variants that make a person susceptible to developing Multiple Sclerosis…
Researchers have discovered a technique that directly converts skin cells to the type of brain cells destroyed in patients…
Reduced mobility among mutiple sclerosisos patients has been linked to a decline in the quality of life, according to new…
New research has demonstrated the key role two proteins play in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study found…
In one of the largest human genetic studies ever undertaken, scientists have identified the major common genetic variants that contribute to the cause of the devastating neurological disease, multiple…
Researchers have shown for the first time that higher levels of vitamin D are associated with a lower relapse risk in multiple…
A few days ago, Jonathan Latham of The Guardian newspaper decried the failure of modern genetics to make inroads on common diseases. I think he got things very wrong. Latham claimed that: Despite more…
