Gregory Duncan, Ph.D., and Ben Emery, Ph.D., have developed new mouse models to confirm the link between failure to repair the protective covering around nerves and loss of neurons. The new models will be useful for not only the Emery lab’s research, but also for other scientists working to address MS and other demyelinating diseases. (OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)
