Brief description A metabolic process known as the kynurenine pathway (KP) has been found to be dysregulated in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We are currently investigating which components of the KP is impaired that put MS patients in jeopardy. Next, we aim to use specific drugs known to manipulate the KP in order to rectify the impairment and stop MS. Outcome of this study may potentially lead to discovery of new biomarkers to assess severity of MS progression and also novel therapeutic regimen.
