The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a widespread virus infecting most individuals at some point, has long been suspected as a trigger for multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease. However, the exact mechanism by which EBV initiates MS has remained elusive. Now, researchers at the University of Texas have made progress in understanding how the virus activates immune cells during the early stages of MS.

Johns Hopkins Medicine study finds targeting the Aplp1 and Lag3 interaction could slow the progression of Parkinson’s and potentially treat other neurodegenerative diseases. Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have discovered a new potential biological target for halting the spread of Parkinson’s disease-causing alpha-synuclein in studies with genetically engineered mice. They have identified Aplp1, a cell surface protein, as a key player in this process.

Long COVID is a brutal illness without a known mechanism or cure. Far from being psychosomatic in nature, a new study adds weight to the idea that this misunderstood disease is very much biological.
The lingering toll the SARS-CoV-2 virus exacts on the immune system is widespread and hiding in plain sight, argue researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, CellSight Technologies, and Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center.
When 24 patients who had recovered from COVID-19 had their whole bodies scanned by a PET (positron emission tomography) imaging test, their insides lit up like Christmas trees.

Medically reviewed by Kristie Reed, PharmDMedically reviewed by Kristie Reed, PharmDMuscle relaxers are a group of medications that relax and reduce muscle tension (spasms). They also help decrease the pain associated with stiff and rigid muscles (spasticity). Muscle relaxers are useful for managing medical conditions that cause muscle stiffness and preventing the movement of muscles during surgery. Muscle relaxers are prescription medications available in oral or injectable forms. While the relaxers are typically tolerable for most people, their use may require strict medical supervision due to the associated possible risks.What Do Muscle Relaxers Do? There are two ways muscle relaxers can relax...

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

Stiff-person syndrome has gotten a lot of attention since Celine Dion announced in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with the neurological disorder. The iconic singer has made few public appearances and statements since then, but when she does it often raises questions about what stiff-person syndrome is and how it's treated.

A recent study has revealed significant insights into the early brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on volume loss in key brain regions. The researchers found that volume loss in the basal forebrain and hippocampus is more pronounced in individuals with high levels of amyloid-beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s, even before cognitive symptoms become apparent. The effect of amyloid-beta concentration on the pace of brain shrinkage (volume loss) varied between brain regions. The study was published in the Neurobiology of Aging.

People have different levels of maturity. An individual’s age or upbringing can make them possess certain traits. Yet, most people believe that one matures as they grow old. On the contrary, some zodiac signs appear childish in old age. They are jumpy and careless. This strains their relationships with signs who misunderstand them. Air and fire signs are temperamental and some people refer to them as being childish. How can you identify an immature sign?

Do you experience brain fog, memory loss, or aphasia? While these are all common migraine symptoms, it can be difficult to figure out if we are experiencing them due to a migraine attack, or whether or not they are due to side effects from the medications we take to manage the condition. Further, could they be appearing due to natural aging or is there a cognitive decline that can occur over time for those of us who live with migraine for years? In this video, Holly discusses the challenge related to parsing apart the cause of the symptoms.
