Replacing Myelin Protects Neurons and Restores Function in Multiple Sclerosis: Mouse Study
Summary:
Researchers have succeeded in regenerating myelin in mouse models of
multiple sclerosis, protecting neurons from the disease and helping to
restore function.

Research is first demonstration that remyelination could benefit many patients.
Using a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), a research team led by UC San Francisco scientists has demonstrated for the first time that regenerating myelin – the fatty insulating sheath surrounding neural fibers that is destroyed in the disorder – can both protect neurons from damage and restore lost function.
