Remyelinating and neuroprotective treatments in multiple sclerosis

Stangel, Martin·2004·Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults. The pathological hallmark is multifocal demyelination and inflammation in the CNS. In addition, there is also a variable extent of axonal damage. Remyelination has been seen in up to 70% of lesions but repair is generally incomplete. The demonstration of neuropathological heterogeneity of MS lesions suggests different pathophysiological subtypes and it is therefore unlikely that there is a uniform cause of incomplete remyelination in MS. In recent years, a great body of knowledge has accumulated in order to better understand the regulatory mechanisms of remyelination. This has led to a number of approaches to promote repair mechanisms, most of which have been successful in animal experiments. Unfortunately, the translation of these experimental data into clinical treatments has proven difficult. More information on the pathogenesis of MS, the reason why repair mechanisms fail in MS and a better understanding of the regulation of remyelination are required. This will ultimately lead to a specific treatment tailored for the individual patient and will probably involve a combination of immunomodulation, remyelination and neuroprotection.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Variable conduction delays might lead to unpredictable variations in synaptic strength, such as have previously been suggested to underlie corollary discharge abnormalities in schizophrenia.

    “Furthermore, given the role that spike-timing dependent plasticity has been proposed to play in efference copy circuits, 78 variable conduction delays might also lead to unpredictable variations in synaptic strength, such as have previously been suggested to underlie corollary discharge abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia.78”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
