Working with rats, researchers isolated a compound of the body’s own brain stem cells that can tell nerve tissue to regenerate. The finding offers hope to those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease for which there is no cure.
MS Nerve Damage
About 350,000 people in the U.S. and 2.5 million worldwide suffer from the chronic inflammation of the central nervous system known as multiple sclerosis. Patients suffer vision and cognition problems; muscle numbness, tingling or spasticity; and difficulties with strength, balance and coordination.
Disability in multiple sclerosis results when myelin, the fatty tissue that insulates nerves, is damaged. Smooth transmission of neural messages from the brain is interrupted or blocked. As the damaged nerve cells begin to degenerate, more disability occurs.
