The microbiota regulates murine inflammatory responses to toxin-induced CNS demyelination but has minimal impact on remyelination [Neuroscience]

The microbiota is now recognized as a key influence on the host immune response in the central nervous system (CNS). As such, there has been some progress toward therapies that modulate the microbiota with the aim of limiting immune-mediated demyelination, as occurs in multiple sclerosis. However, remyelination—the regeneration of myelin...
