Novel Remyelination Assay Allows High-Throughput Drug Screening

micropillar thumbnail
A new technology uses the actual myelin-making behavior of cells to look for drugs that may promote remyelination and prevent disability-causing nerve damage in people with MS. The first candidate is in clinical trials.
In the brains and spinal cords of people with multiple sclerosis, the repair of demyelinating lesions remains...

Microglia, Molecularly Defined

Microglia Figure 4
Microglia—the innate immune cells of the brain and spinal cord—have long been blamed for stoking MS lesions, but more recent studies suggest they may also have the power to protect tissue and promote repair
In multiple sclerosis, circulating immune cells get plenty of well-deserved bad press for...
