Abstract:听Despite the availability of over twenty disease modifying therapies for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, most people with multiple sclerosis (MS) still progress to a devastatingly disabling form called progressive MS. The scarcity of medications for progressive MS is due to our lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms and etiologic triggers that cause axonal loss and demyelination that drive the progression of disability. Because age is the only factor to date that correlates with progression in MS, my lab is investigating if mechanisms of aging such as the gut microbiota and autophagy are etiologic triggers that contribute to neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative pathologies that drive MS progression.
