Tiny 3D brain models could accelerate drug research for multiple sclerosis Tiny 3-D models that mimic vital aspects of the human nervous system have been developed in a step that could accelerate drug research for neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The millimetre-wide models - created using stem cells from human skin samples - will be used to study myelin, an insulating substance that helps nerve cells communicate with each other. Researchers say the models are the most natural representation of human myelination developed in a lab and are a promising platform for studyi...

4.5 (28) The 2020 Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research has been awarded to neuroscientist Dwight E. Bergles, PhD, a Johns Hopkins University professor, for his work in understanding the function of brain cells in multiple sclerosis (MS). This international prize awards $100,000 to the recipient. Administered by the National MS Society, the prize seeks to “recognize and encourage exceptional innovation and originality in scientific research” into the causes and potential treatments for multiple sclerosis. Myelin, the fat-rich substance that wraps around nerv...
