Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term autoimmune condition that affects over 2.9 million people around the world. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, a protective layer that insulates nerve fibers. This damage interrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, vision problems, and paralysis. Although existing treatments can help reduce …

Summary: Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just slowing it. The lead compound, K102, not only promotes remyelination but also balances immune function—key for long-term neurological recovery. In animal and cell studies, it restored myelin-producing cells and showed strong potential for …

Damage to the brainstem – the brain’s ‘control center’ – is behind long-lasting physical and psychiatric effects of severe Covid-19 infection, a study suggests. Using ultra-high-resolution scanners that can see the living brain in fine detail, researchers from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford were able to observe the damaging effects Covid-19 can have on the brain.

Summary: Scientists have shown that neurons don’t rely solely on sugar for energy — they can also burn fat. When energy demand spikes, neurons even create their own fats by recycling parts of themselves, a process dependent on a key protein called DDHD2. In Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia 54 (HSP54), DDHD2 malfunctions, cutting off this energy source and impairing neuron function. …

Vascular dementia — cognitive impairment caused by disease in the brain’s small blood vessels — is a widespread problem, but it has not been as thoroughly studied as Alzheimer’s disease, in which abnormal plaques and protein tangles are deposited in neural tissue. One researcher at The University of New Mexico hopes to change that. In a newly published paper featured …
