Remyelination is the production of new myelin sheaths that protect the nerve fibres ensuring the electrical impulses are carried to the intended destination within the nervous system. To slow down the progression of MS, remyelination needs to be able to repair the nerve fibres, since the nerve fibre itself cannot be recovered or regenerated once lost.
This introduction session will be going into detail about what remyelination is, its creation to slow down the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and information about a new class of Disease Modifying Treatments (DMTs) in the trial phases which promotes remyelination.
Date: Monday 20 February
Time: 2pm to 3pm
