The ‘Myelin Repair Foundation’ is an organization which focuses on the research of drugs and treatment for the repair of demyelination. They aim to fully understand the concept of myelination in the central nervous system, investigate possible drugs which may be used to treat demyelination, and to be able to test the drugs on human cells or animal models. Already, this foundation is working closely together with other association groups who may assist in their research. The ‘Principal Investigators’ are recruited as part of the research as they already have prior knowledge on neurobiology and myelin research. The ‘Scientific Advisory Board’ are apart of the research as they may help with the organization of research deadlines.
Some examples of research recently discovered about multiple sclerosis are as follows:
- Neurons in the body which regulates the feeling of hunger may manipulate eating behaviour in order to defend against infections.[Yale School of Medicine]
- Latest trials have proven that if Interferon Based Medicine and Glatiramer Acetate are consumed together, it will not generate any benefits.
[The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke]
- As cognitive difficulties are a symptom posed by multiple sclerosis, studies show that people who have these difficulties may have intensive brain damage. This is because if cognitive functions do not operate, this means that many parts of the brain are damaged and affected.

- By experimenting on rats, results show that drugs used for cancer may decrease the progression of multiple sclerosis.
