Brief description Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with currently no effective cure. Apart from losing the protective insulating sheath called myelin, nerve cells are damaged and a scar forms. If this could be prevented then MS may be better treated. Using a model of MS called EAE, the role of a molecule, EphA4, will be examined for its ability to induce nerve loss and scar formation and to determine whether blocking it will promote repair, leading to a therapy for MS.
