Doctors believe they are closer to a treatment for multiple sclerosis after discovering a drug that repairs the coatings around nerves that are damaged by the disease.

A clinical trial of the cancer drug bexarotene showed that it repaired the protective myelin sheaths that MS destroys. The loss of myelin causes a range of neurological problems including balance, vision and muscle disorders, and ultimately, disability.

While bexarotene cannot be used as a treatment, because the side-effects are too serious, doctors behind the trial said the results showed “remyelination” was possible in humans, suggesting other drugs or drug combinations will halt MS.

Today is another beautiful day, going to go home and BBQ a Pizza on the Pit Boss basically a Traeger, and have a nice fresh hop IPA. This whole week is supposed to be sunny and nice, well except there's a chance the California wildfire smoke could head back up here, hope not.
