Inhibiting LINGO-1 protein is potential treatment for cognitive impairment

In a new study entitled “LINGO-1 antibody ameliorates myelin impairment and spatial memory deficits in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice”, scientists report that the loss of myelin in MS patients’ brains contributes to their cognitive impairment. They showed that inhibiting protein LINGO-1 can improve these cognitive deficits by promoting myelin growth, thereby establishing impairment of LINGO-1 as a potential new therapeutic avenue for cognitive deficits in MS patients...
