ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the early detection and better monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS). The method maps the myelin sheaths in ...

One of the leading triggers for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. However, certain gene variants also play an important role.

There may be two distinct subtypes of multiple sclerosis, according to a new study led by scientists at University College ...

Artificial intelligence (AI), using a simple blood test combined with standard brain images has, for the first time, been ...

Experts from the University of Nottingham have proven that multiple sclerosis (MS) can successfully be diagnosed using an MRI scan, meaning patients no longer need to undergo a painful lumbar puncture ...

Researchers at University College London have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help interpret and assess how well treatments are working for patients with multiple sclerosis ...

"In terms of association with climate, our results suggest a relationship between enhancing lesions and tropical nights, a variable indicating extreme temperatures, which had not been previously ...

MS is currently treated with 'disease-modifying' medicines (e.g. interferon beta, glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, fingolimod, alemtuzumab, teriflunomide, and dimethyl fumarate). These medicines can ...

Improved MRI scans of the myelin sheaths in the brain should allow multiple sclerosis to be detected at an early stage. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that usually leads to ...
