Experimental MS Therapy Seen to Promote Myelin Regeneration in Preclinical Study

RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.,Ā announced the publication of a research article detailing the process by whichĀ Thymosin beta 4 (TĪ²4), the company’s novel therapeutic peptide, effectively promoted the remyelination process in two separate animal models commonly used for multiple sclerosis (MS) research. The article, ā€œThymosin beta4 promotes oligodendrogenesis in the demyelinating…

MS Researchers ID Protein That Works to Block Nervous System Remyelination

A study from the University of Cambridge showed that the membrane-bound signaling protein EphrinB3, which acts by inhibiting the maturation of oligodendrocytes, also blocks the remyelination of damaged neurons in multiple sclerosis (MS). The study,Ā “Antibody-mediated neutralization of myelin-associated EphrinB3 accelerates CNS re-myelination,“Ā uncovered a new target toĀ explore…
