| Desc | We only have one area of program services and that is scientific research to benefit Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Currently our research is focused on experiments to identify biomarkers to indicate repair of myelin damaged by MS. Over the last year, we focused our research on extracellular vesicles(EVs) isolated from blood. We currently have 8 investigations underway spread across Europe and North America. We have encouraging preliminary data showing that we can clearly distinguish MS patient EV's from healthy controls and may be able to identify sub-types of MS. | Desc |

| Specific Services Provided | The overall objective of this project is to develop an analytical pipeline to assess the cargo of EVs found in the serum and secreted by neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. This pipeline will then be used to identify a blood-derived signature of MS. Extracellular vesicles offer a promising avenue for the discovery of biomarkers to help tackle multiple sclerosis progression. By analyzing the cargo of EVs, we hope to obtain valuable insights on neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and treatment response. As the field advances and standardization efforts progress, EV-based biomarkers may revolutionize disease monitoring, personalized treatment approaches, and the development of novel therapeutics ultimately leading to improved outcomes for patients with multiple sclerosis. | SpecificServicesProvidedTxt |

| Purpose Of Grant | There are two scientific research agreements with Yale for $50,000 each. The first is to validate the exosomal small RNA biomarker for MS progression in an additional validation cohort, consisting of 40 progressive and stable MS patients and then confirm the astrocyte origin of progression-associated RNAs by verifying their expression or downregulation in reactive astrocytes in autopsied brain tissue from progressive MS patients. Lastly, to test whether GLAST+ exosomes from progressive but not stable MS patients or healthy controls induce proinflammatory pathways in human iPSC-derived microglial cells that are also active in microglial populations in the brain of progressive MS patients. The second SRA aims to Develop a robust protocol to isolate OL-derived exosomes and quantify their lipid and protein content and determine the small RNA, lipid and proteomic signatures in oligodendrocyte-exosomes correlated to remyelination using samples from the RENEW optic neuritis treatment trial. | PurposeOfGrantTxt |
