Myelin Repair Provides Novel Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Researchers made a significant breakthrough in treating multiple sclerosis (MS) by developing a new protein function inhibitor, ESI1, that promotes the regeneration of myelin sheaths, critical to nerve cell function.

Their study shows that ESI1 enhances myelin production in both mouse models mimicking MS and in human brain cells in the lab, by reactivating the myelin-producing cells (oligodendrocytes) that are silenced in disease states.

This novel approach not only reversed myelin damage in models but also improved neurological functions, suggesting a potential new treatment pathway for MS and related neurodegenerative disorders.

The findings could lead to clinical trials and offer hope for conditions that involve nerve damage, including brain and spinal cord injuries.

Despite the genetic basis of healthy aging, diet plays an important role in preventing inflammation, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Yet, healthy food choices are just part of the equation. Researchers are discovering how fasting can undo some of the metabolic damage imposed by the overindulgences....
