Enhancing remyelination in multiple sclerosis via M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is growing in prevalence; yet, treatments that can reverse the progression of the disease are still needed. One strategy that has shown promise for reversing MS is remyelination by inhibiting the M1 receptor, a member of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) family.
