    196. Reversing MS Damage: The Promising Potential of PIPE-307 to Regrow Myelin

    Today, we're going to be talking about a specific drug that has been shown in research thus far to help with remyelination. Do you remember back in the day, there was research in the MS world that was looking at the possible effects of clemastine on multiple sclerosis. The hope here was that it would help with remyelination, AKA building myelin. That same research has been integral in helping researchers develop an even more effective drug that is currently in phase two trials, and it's showing really promising results for remyelination in humans! And it's about time you know about it!
