Old cells repair damage in the brains of MS patients
[PRESS RELEASE 2019-01-23] A new study shows that there is a very limited regeneration of cells in the brain of patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). These findings underline the importance of treating MS at an early stage of the disease progression, when the affected cells can repair the damage as they are not replaced by new ones. The results are published in the journal Nature by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala University in Sweden.Nerve cells in the brain communicate with one another through nerve fibres that form complex networks. Many nerve fibres are
