But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.

In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath--a protective layer surrounding nerve cells in the nervous system. The loss of myelin, combined with ongoing inflammation, causes dysfunction and death of nerve cells, making the disability worse, such as difficulties with movement, coordination, and sensation. Treatments now focus on reducing attacks on myelin, but don't address nerve-cell damage and death. But with $1 million from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS), a research team co-led by Paul Tesar, the Dr. Donald and Ruth Weber Goodman Professor of Innovative Therapeutics and director of the Institute for Glial Sciences, and Ben Clayton, assistant professor and founding member of the Institute for Glial Sciences, both in the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, will take a different Case Western Reserve University /articles/reconstructing-ancient-climate-provides-clues-to-climate-change/?sc=rsin /articles/reconstructing-ancient-climate-provides-clues-to-climate-change/?sc=rsin Mon, 04 Nov 2024 06:00:22 EST A 15-year study of a site in Bolivia by an international team led by Case Western Reserve University provides a comprehensive view of an ancient ecosystem when the Earth was much warmer than today Case Western Reserve University /articles/case-western-reserve-university-awarded-2-6m-to-study-impact-of-high-blood-pressure-medications-on-chronic-kidney-disease-patients/?sc=rsin /articles/case-western-reserve-university-awarded-2-6m-to-study-impact-of-high-blood-pressure-medications-on-chronic-kidney-disease-patients/?sc=rsin Mon, 28 Oct 2024 09:00:05 EST The National Institutes of Health awarded a four-year, $2.6 million grant to researchers at Case Western Reserve University to study how high blood-pressure drugs affect patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
