Regenerative medicine for the treatment of MS: Enhancing repair to prevent progression | Front Row lecture with Luke Lairson, PhD

Welcome to The Regenerative Health Association podcast, where we explore the frontiers of medical science transforming lives. This episode delves into multiple sclerosis (MS), a devastating autoimmune disease that disrupts the central nervous system, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, cognitive difficulties, and progressive loss of function—challenges that current therapies can slow but not fully repair. 

MS occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, the protective covering around nerve fibers, impairing communication within the brain and body Our hosts review a lecture by Scripps Research chemistry professor Luke Lairson who shares his pioneering work on harnessing the body’s own repair mechanisms—specifically, activating endogenous stem cells to restore myelin and potentially halt the progression of MS. 

His research aims to complement existing treatments by promoting natural regeneration, offering new hope for those living with this relentless disease. Join us as we explore how these advances could reshape the future of MS therapy and what it means for regenerative medicine worldwide.
