Funded Activity Summary

Brain protection for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) In MS, the immune system repeatedly attacks the brain. Unfortunately, some of the resultant damage cannot be repaired, because it destroys some of the electrical cables (axons). In humans, destruction of axons is permanent and cumulative axonal loss due to repeated attacks ultimately leads to progressive disablity including, paraplegia, dementia, blindness and incontinence. This proposal aims to identify treatments to reduce axonal damage in MS.
