They reveal how multiple sclerosis damages the brain years before having symptoms – The Observatorial

Madrid. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF, United States) analyzed thousands of proteins present in the blood and, from this, created the clearest picture to date of how multiple sclerosis (MS) damages the brain of patients years before they experience symptoms and seek medical advice. The study, published in Nature Medicineexplains for […]

MS brain damage starts years before symptoms appear: Study

Signs of myelin damage are detectable about one year before damage to nerve fibers is apparent and about seven years before the onset of multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms, a new […] The post MS brain damage starts years before symptoms appear: Study appeared first on Multiple Sclerosis News Today.

Blood proteins indicate MS attack precedes symptoms

Recent findings from UC San Francisco have unveiled a clearer timeline of how multiple sclerosis (MS) begins damaging the brain, highlighting that the immune system’s assault occurs earlier than previously recognised. By examining thousands of proteins in blood samples, researchers have pinpointed the initial attack on the myelin sheath, a critical component that insulates nerve fibres. The study identified immune system debris and activating si…
