Comment: | Call for abstracts: Poster and Short Talks, Early Career Travel Fellowship Applications
Deadline: April 28. Select abstracts will be chosen for short oral presentation. See www.nyas.org/myelin2014 for details. Demyelinating diseases and disorders affect millions of people worldwide. New breakthroughs in basic science research on the white matter microenvironment and oligodendrocyte precursor cell development have provided novel potential sites of action for therapeutics. Translation of these discoveries into biomarkers to predict clinical outcomes, and into biologics that can modulate myelination utilizing these pathways, may transform the treatment of currently incurable conditions. This one-day, translational conference will present recent findings in remyelination and repair from disease models and clinical trials, new techniques for imaging myelination changes in the brain and for screening molecular targets, and emerging therapeutics that promote remyelination. |
