NEW YORK, June 26 -- The National Multiple Sclerosis Society issued the following news:
An international team reports that myelin damage results in a shortfall in the ability of axons (nerve cell fibers) to produce energy, and that targeting this process with treatment can protect axons from damage. This study identifies a new approach that may protect nerve cells from harm to stop or prevent MS progression.
In MS, myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and protects . . .
