1010. Immunology of Rare Neuroimmune Disorders Part 3

Dr. GG deFiebre of SRNA was joined by Dr. Benjamin Greenberg for
an “Ask the Expert” podcast episode titled, “Immunology of Rare
Neuroimmune Disorders Part 3.” Dr. Greenberg began by explaining
repair versus recovery in the spinal cord, the brain, and the
optic nerves. He discussed how the body naturally remakes myelin
and current research on astrocytic scars. He also summarized how
an MRI may not correlate with how much function returns. Finally,
Dr. Greenberg provided information on ongoing research on repair
and stem cells, as well as the risks of stem cell clinics.
