Future MS research is on the line. We're calling on Congress to reject the proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and protect medical research. Help us by contacting Congress today and make your voice heard: nmss.quorum.us/campaign/1602…

Researchers have recently discovered a protein called CEMIP that may hinder myelin repair. Understanding how CEMIP interferes with the cells responsible for rebuilding myelin helps scientists move closer to therapies that go beyond slowing MS progression. ntlms.org/CEMIPMyelinRepair

🚨 The genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is SOLVED Studying 470k patients across four studies, we now know a mutation in one gene underlies most of AD risk. ApoE And most of us carry it. ApoE e3/e4 was associated with 70-90% of AD risk and 45% of all dementia risk!
