21. MRI quantification of multiple sclerosis pathology
Abstract : Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease and a common cause of neurologic disability. MS pathology is characterized by demyelination, neuroaxonal loss and atrophy. READ MORE

22. Distribution of glycosphingolipids in nervous tissue. Immunohistochemical and biochemical studies
Abstract : Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are highly enriched in cell membranes of the mammalian nervous system. Their biological functions are not clarified although recent findings have supported their existence in plasma membrane domains, enriched in cholesterol, sphingomyelin and GSLs. READ MORE

23. Study of neurodegenerative diseases with novel MRI techniques
Abstract : Neurodegenerative diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are characterized by the progressive degeneration of structure and function of the nervous system. They include diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS) and others. READ MORE

24. To scar or not to scar : origin and function of fibrotic tissue in the central nervous system
Abstract : After injury, the adult mammalian central nervous system lacks long-distance axon regeneration, and insufficient repair results in the formation of a multicellular and compartmentalized scar. A great body of work has been dedicated to the study of the glial component of the scar, while the fibrotic lesion core has received less attention. READ MORE

25. Susceptibility gene mapping in multiple sclerosis
Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by relapsing or progressive demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). Increasing evidence supports that genetic factors confer susceptibility to MS resulting in an unknown mode of inheritance as a complex trait. READ MORE
