Gene from High Altitude Yak Protected and Repaired Myelin Sheath in Early MS Study
Originally published on Good News Network
A special gene that helps animals like the yak survive at high altitude could enable new treatments for multiple sclerosis after positive findings from a mouse model. The genetic mutation that enables yaks to live in environments with much less oxygen, and may hold the key to repairing nerve damage in conditions such as multiple Good News Network.
