Local Overexpression of Interleukin-11 in the Central Nervous System Limits Demyelination and Enhances Remyelination

Local Overexpression of Interleukin-11 in the Central Nervous System Limits Demyelination and Enhances Remyelination

Demyelination is one of the pathological hallmarks of multiple sclerosis (MS). To date, no therapy is available which directly potentiates endogenous remyelination.
