Worth knowing
A paper in npj Drug Discovery described CN045, a molecule that can reach the brain and spinal cord. In the laboratory it helped immature human cells develop into cells that make myelin, and in mice it increased myelin repair.
What this means for people with MS
CN045 is an interesting possible drug, but it has not been tested in people. The molecule still needs improvement, safety checks and studies of how the body processes it.
