multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system associated to myelin loss and neurodegeneration. clinically patients suffer from diverse symptoms and face the risk to become wheelchair-bound. at the moment ms is incurable, thus there is an unmet need for therapeutic options.

conclusions the results of this study showed a possible association between cmv infection and ms. further experimental and epidemiological studies using case-control approaches are needed to confirm this association. results anti-cmv was positive in 65 (79.3%) and 69 (77.5%) of the ms patients and healthy subjects, respectively (p= 0.853). similarly, 23 (28%) and 2 (2.2%) patients were positive...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms), the most common demyelinating disease of the cns, is immunologically mediated in genetically susceptible individuals. receptors for the fc fragment of igg (fcγr) might induce inflammatory responses through linking the humoral and cellular immune responses by targeting immune complexes to effector cells. polymorphisms in some fcγr genes are associated with va...

arm grooves of star-fish have mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue cell. widespread studies have shown that stem cells derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell from bone marrow have many similarities in terms of the ability to differentiate into a variety of tissues. most of the animals live in warm and shallow waters and the waters of this feature is that it is low in d...

adult neurogenesis is a process of producing nerve cells from their progenitor that occurs in some areas in the brain such as the hypothalamus. low activity in this area plays a role in neural degeneration and diseases such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and depression. ms is a neurodegenerative disease with a permanent disability that the main reason for it is axonal degeneration and neuronal...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an inflammatory disorder, in which neurons become demyelinated. to date, its etiology has remained unknown. nevertheless, certain features are inspected to provoke ms. for instance, improper function of immune cells is widely believed to be the basis of such disorder. in this concept, ms is stated as an autoimmune disease, which was asserted by major of studies, as cd...

neuroinflammation is a disorder that causes neurological disease. neuroinflammation has a significant role in induce of multiple sclerosis (ms) and one of the situations that must be treated stops the ongoing process of inflammation against the cns by self-reactive lymphocytes. according to the successful results that were obtained from the pre-clinical phase of cell therapy, many studies were ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune inflammatory process that affects the central nervous system (cns). celiac disease (cd) is a systemic autoimmune disorder of gluten intolerance. based on the presumed association of ms with multiple autoimmune processes, the coincidence of ms with gluten sensitivity has been investigated with controversial results. here, we report a known case of ms with...
