Antibodies that deplete B cells might hold the key to protecting both white and gray matter in the brain against the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to recent research ...

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 ...

Historically, scientists have concentrated on the gray matter of the cortex, figuring that's where the action is, while ignoring white matter, even though it makes up half the brain.

But the findings from this research may help in improved understanding of diseases that affect white matter in the spinal cord, including multiple sclerosis, Sengupta said.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that usually leads to permanent disabilities. It affects around 2.9 million people worldwide, and around 15,000 in Switzerland alone.

Although both white and gray matter have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cognitive decline in MS, the brain's focal and diffuse gray matter damage has been consistently identified as ...
