Get the latest top news stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily newsletter Scots scientists have made a breakthrough in the treatment of multiple sclerosis which could halt the progression of the disease. Researchers from Edinburgh University studying MS have created a new myelin repair method which could stop disability progression in the future. In MS the protective myelin coating around nerves is damaged which makes it harder for messages from the brain to get through.
It can affect how a person walks, moves, sees, thinks, and feels. The human body has the ability to repair myelin, which can help protect nerves again and restore their ability to conduct messages but in MS this becomes less effective. Around 17,000 Scots live with MS - one of the highest rates in the world.
