Not MS, but relates to scarring so could be relevant in the future.

I wanted to see if the "preliminary tests" were in humans or mice, so I searched google scholar and found a reference to this in mice, all the way back in 2002.

Chondroitinase ABC promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury.

Even this one in 2007 is on mice. i hope, with induced spinal injuries and all.

I think this could be very relevant to people with spinal lesions, since lesions are scars, after all.
