Is less sugar better for our brain?

"Our research findings suggest that lactose in particular can accelerate the neurodegeneration of our brain"

25-Sep-2024 - Elevated blood sugar levels can have a direct impact on our brain. If the blood vessels change due to sugar-related deposits, individual areas of the brain can be undersupplied, which can trigger strokes as well as dementia. Scientists at the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital ...

World's first high-resolution brain developed by 3D printer

New model can advance research into neurodegenerative diseases

22-Mar-2024 - In a joint project between TU Wien and MedUni Vienna, the world's first 3D-printed "brain phantom" has been developed, which is modelled on the structure of brain fibres and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). As a scientific team led by TU Wien and MedUni ...

Immune System Reboot in MS Patients

Wiping out unwanted immune cells

14-Nov-2022 - Blood stem cell transplantation is a radical but highly effective therapy for multiple sclerosis. A study led by the University of Zurich has now examined in detail the way in which the treatment curbs the autoimmune disease and how the immune system regenerates afterwards. A better understanding ...

Fish to help in search for MS drugs

Study follows an innovative path in the search for new active substances

22-Sep-2022 - The zebrafish serves as a model organism for researchers around the world: it can be used to study important physiological processes that also take place in a similar form in the human body. It is therefore routinely used in the search for possible active substances against diseases. Researchers ...

Meat, Multiple Sclerosis, and the Microbiome

Eating more meat, and changes in the blood, immune system and gut ecology all correlate with worse MS symptoms

01-Feb-2022 - Eating more meat, having less of certain bacteria in the gut, and more of certain immune cells in the blood, all link with multiple sclerosis, reports a team of researchers led by UConn Health and Washington University School of Medicine. The work, published in the 27 January issue of ...

Messengers from gut to brain

Seen for the first time: T cells traveling from the gut and skin to the central nervous system

09-Sep-2021 - Scientists have long been aware of a link between the gut microbiome and the central nervous system (CNS). Until now, however, the immune cells that move from the gut into the CNS and thus the brain had not been identified. A team of researchers in Munich has now succeeded in using violet light ...
