Increasing evidence suggests that the severe gum disease, periodontitis, may contribute to central nervous system disorders ...

New research reveals that when gut bacteria closely resemble the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers, the immune system can become confused and attack both — accelerating multiple sclerosis.

A study reveals that pro-inflammatory gut bacteria mimicking the myelin sheath trigger immune attacks on nerves, worsening MS ...

High levels of the periodontal bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum may be associated with more severe disability in people with multiple sclerosis.

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to ...

New Swedish research finds that people with highest microplastics and PFAS levels face double the risk of multiple sclerosis ...

The results showed that people with the highest levels of certain chemicals—especially PFOS, a type of PFAS, and two types of ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disorder that prompts the body's immune system to attack myelin, the protective sheath covering nerve cells in the brain, optic nerve and spinal cord. This can in turn ...

Study suggests exposure to chemicals known as “forever chemicals” may significantly increase the likelihood of developing multiple sclerosis ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the disruption of nerve signals and various ...

The CEMIP enzyme inhibits the growth of oligodendrocytes and may serve as a therapeutic target to boost myelin repair in MS, ...
