How scientists developed a breakthrough drug for multiple sclerosisImagine waking up to a world that blurs in front of you. Heading to the kitchen for breakfast, you’re hit with a wave of exhaustion, and your arms and legs feel like lead. This is the reality for the more than 400,000 people living with multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the most common neurological conditions in the United States. MS causes progressive nerve and brain damage as the body attacks the protective covering around each of its own nerve cells (called the myelin sheath). It causes vision loss, weakness and numbness in legs, and eventual disability. There are two types: relapsing-remitting and primary-progressive. In relapsing-remitting MS (the more common form), patients experience episodes of symptoms, followed by periods of recovery. In primary-progressive MS, there are no periods of relapse and the patient’s condition steadily declines.

Discovery opens new opportunities to slow or reverse multiple sclerosis — ScienceDailyNerve cells stripped of their insulation can no longer carry vital information, leading to the numbness, weakness and vision problems often associated with multiple sclerosis. A new study shows an overlooked source may be able to replace that lost insulation and provide a new way to treat diseases like MS. -
