Pathogenic implications of distinct patterns of iron and zinc in chronic MS lesions
(2017)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which oligodendrocytes, the CNS cells that stain most robustly for iron and myelin are the targets of injury. ...
