David Lyons presents his research for the MS Society in December 2018.
Professor David Lyons talks to us about all things zebrafish and MS. Why are they so helpful in investigating MS? What can they teach us about myelin repair?...

Better understanding remyelination will help us to improve the treatments of myelin diseases, such as MS. We directly compared surviving and newly-made oligodendrocytes in a new zebrafish model of myelin damage, showing that new oligodendrocytes have a much greater capacity for remyelination than survivors. Therefore, our study suggests that the best strategy to promote myelin repair is to boost the production and remyelination capacity of new oligodendrocytes.
