2025Myelin Repair Foundation IncThere 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.$100,000
