When neuroscience and clinical research meet. EBI2 receptor as a new target for myelin repair therapy in multiple sclerosis
What are the myelin sheets? How badly are they affected in multiple sclerosis (MS)? Could their repair process be in any capacity regulated ?
Follow Aleksandra Rutkowska, Ph.D., an ambitious neuroscientist conducing an innovative project aiming to identify and characterize the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating myelin repair in the central nervous system (CNS).
What makes this study so unique is that currently there are about 30 successful therapies focused on modulating the immune system in MS but there is none that concentrates on repairing the central nervous system (CNS).
Learn of Dr. Rutkowska’s translational collaboration with Prof. Bartosz Karaszewski, Head of the Department of Neurology at the Medical University of Gdańsk, during which they test combinations of different mechanism regulating and stimulating the process the myelin repair (i.e. remyelination).
Witness how passion, dedication and hard work pave the way for maybe yet another scientific breakthrough.
