Banebrydende metode kan afsløre sclerose i urinen

Banebrydende metode kan afsløre sclerose i urinen Danske forskere har udviklet en ny metode, der kan diagnosticere sygdommen sclerose gennem en urinprøve i stedet for en rygmarvsprøve. En simpel test hos din egen læge kan i fremtiden afsløre, om du lider af sclerose. Som de første har forskere på Odense Universitetshospital og Syddansk Universitet udviklet

Vitamin D piller kan måske gavne scleroseramte

Mange studier har tidligere vist at et lavt D-vitamin niveau kan øge risikoen for at få sclerose. Desuden er man begyndt at undersøge og lave studier på scleroseramte der viser at samme lave indhold kan forvære symptomer og øge handicap. Det har været debateret igen og igen – og scleroseramte kan få gavn af d

Myelin Damage Caused by MS Could be Slowed, Prevented by Protein

A new study has shown that a protein called TREM2 may inhibit microglial repair of damaged myelin in multiple sclerosis. The study appeared in the Jan. 29 issue of Acta Neuropathologica. MS is characterized by the degeneration of myelin, a fatty coating that insulates nerve cells and helps them transmit impulses. When myelin is damaged, this inhibits communication in
