Funded Activity Summary

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurodegenerative disease affecting young adults. It is a disease that kills myelin cells, which are necessary support cells for neurons and are critical for their function. This research investigates the role that BMPs play in myelin cell production and repair. Our aim is to identify regenerative therapeutics for MS.
