My experience of adaptive rowing with MS https://t.co/KLBWCMGiB0

Over half of ppl with MS are 50+, yet trials, treatment guidelines & diagnostic tools have not kept pace, say top neuros in "Call to Action" in @NatRevNeurol.
Result: diagnosis blind spots, under-treatment & missed opportunities.

Myelin repair
Thrilled to see @Cambridge_Uni doing a trial to see if metformin & clemastine can repair myelin, the protective coating around nerve fibres, damaged in ppl with MS. Funded by @mssocietyuk.
Such an unmet need.

Let’s start with the big theme aging with ms. It starts already with 30, the biological age is higher as the chronological age. Important not just for research and doctors, most important for PwMS! #ECTRIMS2024 #ms

There's still poor awareness of early #MS symptoms in doctors & public. So Dr Jaime Imitola @DrJim4MS has created VISIBL-MS, a sign showing early MS signs. Aimed too at Hispanic pop to tackle health literacy.
Early awareness = early diagnosis/treatment.

It’s been 10yrs since I had breast cancer & a double mastectomy.Since then I’ve learnt to love my scars. But that has taken time. 2day on @BBCMorningLive I’m doing a piece about body acceptance after cancer treatment. I hope it gives inspiration to anyone on the cancer journey💛

Why are researchers looking at this?

A molecule inside cells (called SEH1) switches on genes to kick-start the production of myelin.

Researchers think that when the survivin protein binds to SEH1, it could stop cells making myelin.
