Episode 452: Why Natural Myelin Repair Stops Working for People with MS (And How It Could Be Re-Started!) with Dr. Larry Sherman

Episode 452: Why Natural Myelin Repair Stops Working for People with MS (And How It Could Be Re-Started!) with Dr. Larry Sherman

Myelin repair is a natural function. But, for people living with MS, that ability to repair myelin eventually stops working. New research led by my guest, Dr. Larry Sherman, may explain why that happens and point to new possibilities for future myelin repair treatments.

Dr. Sherman is a professor at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University, and his research focuses on how the brain and spinal cord respond to injury and disease, particularly in demyelinating conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

We're also sharing some potentially good news for people living with non-relapsing secondary progressive MS in Europe, but not in the United States.

We'll give you the details about an experimental drug that's just been submitted to the FDA and EMA for approval for treating relapsing forms of MS and primary progressive MS.

We'll share the results of a study that focused on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on MS care.

We'll tell you how Fernando Mendoza celebrated being named the #1 pick in this year's NFL draft.

And we're sharing news about a new AI tool for your doctor.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
