To stop MS, we need treatments that repair damage to the protective myelin coating around nerves.

Remyelination therapies on trial

News on one of the first trials looking at remyelination as a treatment for MS. See the results of a phase 2 clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of opicinumab.

Non-invasive method helps the survival of myelin-producing cells

Myelin production is shown to be promoted by a method known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Manipulating myelin

Australian researchers have found that the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain plays an important role in the growth of myelin. This laboratory discovery may lead to new interventions to promote myelin repair in MS.

3D printing to help MS drug discovery

Scientists have used 3D printing to create a model that could be used to aid MS drug discovery.

Anti-histamine trial shows myelin repair possible

Anti-histamine drug clemastine may boost myelin repair in MS
