Welcome to “MS News Notes,” a Monday early morning column where I discuss several sclerosis (MS) newspaper article that captured my eye recently. Here’s a take a look at what’s been taking place:
More remyelination research study
For years, the majority of MS research study has actually concentrated on stopping illness development. In the previous couple years, nevertheless, increasingly more scientists have actually been concentrating on whether it’s possible to repair the damage MS has actually already done. They’re searching for a method to fix the myelin finish of our nerves.
The latest of these is efforts is sponsored by Frequency Therapeutics, as MS News Today‘s Margarida Maia reports in “Frequency moving to test agents with remyelination potential.” Frequency hopes to launch a clinical trial by June 2024. It can’t come quickly enough for individuals like me with substantial myelin damage.
Improving brain cell function
One of the less noticeable issues that accompanies MS is illness development that is independent of regression activity. Many disease-modifying treatments can help to slow illness development by lowering swelling.
A story by Marisa Wexler, “CNM-Au8 preserves white matter in RRMS patients’ brains: Phase 2 trial,” reports on the screening of a substance that’s created to help individuals with MS by enhancing the performance of afferent neuron in the brain.
Keeping those bones strong
One possible service to bone density issues is diet plan, especially increasing one’s calcium consumption. Does it matter, however, whether you’re being assisted by a dietitian while attempting to improve that consumption?
Find the response in “Dietitian advice assists MS patients to improve calcium intake: Trial.” I’ve taken calcium tablets for many years, so no dietitian was required. Have you done anything to increase your calcium levels? Have you ever utilized a dietitian? Please share in the remarks listed below.
