Repair and Protection: National MS Society' "Targeted Research: and Protection Initiative"

What if we could actually reverse the damage that MS causes, restoring function to those who have been living with the disease for years? Recent scientific advances in many different fields are now, for the first time, coming together to bring the dream of protecting and repairing brain tissue and restoring function within our grasp. The Society now targets this vital quest with a program that could dramatically impact future disease management, improve the lives of the estimated two million people worldwide living with MS, and could ultimately lead to a cure.

A specially convened National MS Society Task Force determined that the best way to accelerate nerve tissue repair is to bring together the appropriate clinical specialists and basic laboratory scientists to form partnerships to conduct all elements of the study, from basic research to human clinical trials.

Collaborating to make tissue repair and protection a reality

To ensure the speediest results, the task force recommended that the Society fund as many centers as can meet the extensive expectations ofMORE: Repair and Protection: National MS Society' "Targeted Research: and Protection Initiative"
