MIT Scientists Develop New Regenerative Drug That Reverses Hearing Loss

I thought it was interesting that they are also working on a drug for MS patients that will help with regenerate myelin in the brain.

The company is also developing a drug for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease in which the immune system attacks the myelin in the brain and central nervous system. Progenitor cells already turn into the myelin-producing cells in the brain, but not fast enough to keep up with losses sustained by MS patients. Most MS therapies focus on suppressing the immune system rather than generating myelin.
