Some scientists believe that multiple sclerosis risk can be reduced or even prevented by regular physical activity. But a recent finding suggests that regular exercise is not effective as a preventative measure for developing the said disease. The results are published in the journal Neurology. There are a number of risk factors that are associated […]

More and more researchers are looking into bacteria that thrive in the stomach and its possible link to certain diseases and health conditions. Many scientists have, in particular, suspected that there is a link that exists between gut bacteria and certain immunological diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Recent studies by researchers from Brigham and Women’s […]

New research indicates that people suffering from multiple sclerosis may have double the risk of dying early as compared to people without the said disease. Those who suffer from MS while at a younger age below 59 may even have three times the higher risk. Findings of the said study are published in the May […]

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and other collaborators have discovered a key protein that may be able to reduce the severity of a disease in mice similar to multiple sclerosis in humans. The said protein, called Del-1 is known to be the same protein type that also prevents inflammation and bone loss in mice […]
