Pharmacological Agents and Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Animal Models
Pharmacological agents targeting single processes have shown promise in animal models for myelin repair but haven't translated to significant clinical benefits for people with MS (pwMS). The paper suggests that combining multiple strategies could be more effective for remyelination.

Why it matters
This research highlights the gap between animal studies and clinical outcomes, emphasizing a need for novel approaches in treating myelin damage in pwMS.
What this does not prove
This is a perspective paper lacking specific trial data or outcomes, thus leaving the efficacy of proposed strategies unverified.

interventionWe outline how non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) might be leveraged to shift the glial microenvironment towards a pro-regenerative, remyelinating state, and how this can be paired with targeted pharmacological agents that enhance oligodendrocyte differentiation.
findingsPharmacological strategies acting on a single target to promote oligodendrocyte lineage progression have been successful in animal models but have yet to produce meaningful clinical benefit in people with MS (pwMS).
findingsIn this perspective paper, we argue that simultaneously targeting several of the mechanisms underlying this failure is a more promising route to repairing myelin lesions in pwMS.
