NDC-1308 induces remyelination in models of MS

[MSUK]

Scientists from ENDECE Neural presented pre-clinical data this week showing that the company's lead compound, NDC-1308, can address one of the root causes of multiple sclerosis (MS) by inducing remyelination (restoration of the lost myelin sheath in nerves that have been damaged by MS). The results, which were presented at the CNS Diseases World Summit 2013 in Boston, suggest that NDC-1308 can induce remyelination in an animal model of demyelination, in which the neurotoxicant cuprizone was used to remove the myelin sheath from the axons (nerve fibers) of mice.......
