Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. While work has focused on axon loss in MS, far less is known about synaptic changes.

The V5A13.1 envelope glycoprotein deletion mutant of mouse hepatitis virus type-4 is neuroattenuated by its reduced rate of spread in the central nervous system. [PDF]
Following intracerebral inoculation of adult Balb/c Byj mice, the MHV-4 strain of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) had an LD50 of less than 0.1 PFU, whereas its monoclonal antibody resistant variant V5A13.1 had an LD50 of 10(4.2) PFU.

Mechanisms and treatment strategies of demyelinating and dysmyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Schwann cells, the myelinating glia of the peripheral nervous system, wrap axons multiple times to build their myelin sheath. Myelin is of paramount importance for axonal integrity and fast axon potential propagation.

Vitamin D Supplementation in Central Nervous System Demyelinating Disease—Enough Is Enough
The exact cause of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains elusive. Various factors, however, have been identified that increase an individual’s risk of developing this central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease and are associated with an acceleration in
