We have over the last two years demonstrated the efficacy of a novel natural compounds which improve outcomes in two animal models of CNS demyelinating disease. The fellowship will involve understanding the mechanism of action of the compounds in remyelination. These agents will include naturally occurring cytokines such as IL-33, which we shown to promote repair and new and novel synthetic molecules.
