title: Multiple paths towards repair in multiple sclerosis.
abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS, affecting approximately 1/1000 individuals in the Western world. Available treatments limit CNS inflammation and strategies to repair damage in the CNS offer the potential of recovery of both tissue and function. With further fundamental knowledge developing, this area is ripe for 'translation' to clinical application.
