on the OHSU websiteView the paper itself in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Undoing the damage done to the myelin is one pathway to a cure for MS. Read more " c-nmssatomrichtext_nmssatomrichtext-host="">A team at Oregon Health and Science University has collaborated to identify a gene – called TMEM63A –that is crucial to the formation of myelin, the membrane that surrounds nerve fibers and is a target of the immune response in multiple sclerosis. Dr. Swetha Murphy began studying this gene because of increasing evidence that it plays a role in a rare genetic disorder affecting children. Dr. Murphy then collaborated with Drs. Kelly Monk and Ben Emery – Society supported researchers and noted experts in how myelin formation goes awry in MS. Together, this team studied TMEM63A in mouse and zebrafish models. The results show that TMEM63A is essential for picking up certain signals that are critical to myelin formation. They are following up on these studies to determine if this process can be targeted by therapeutic strategies to promote myelin repair in MS and other demyelinating diseases.

" c-nmssatomrichtext_nmssatomrichtext-host="">About Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. Currently there is no cure. Symptoms vary from person to person and may include disabling fatigue, mobility challenges, cognitive changes, and vision issues. An estimated 1 million people live with MS in the United States. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimize disability. Significant progress is being made to achieve a world free of MS. About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society The National MS Society, founded in 1946, is the global leader of a growing movement dedicated to creating a world free of MS. The Society funds cutting-edge research for a cure, drives change through advocacy and provides programs and services to help people affected by MS live their best lives.
