DESCRIPTION:Remyelination is the process by which new myelin sheaths are r
 estored to demyelinated axons\, and is a compelling example of how adult m
 ultipotent stem cells contribute to regeneration of the injured CNS. Under
 standing the processes underlying remyelination is crucial in the treatmen
 t for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. There is now stro
 ng evidence that ageing is the major contributor to declining remyelinatio
 n efficiency\, and that this is largely due to a failure of stem cell diff
 erentiation. In this talk\, Professor Franklin discusses recent studies on
  how ageing affects many aspects of CNS remyelination. Professor Robin Fra
 nklin is Professor of Stem Cell Medicine at the Wellcome Trust-MRC Cambrid
 ge Stem Cell Institute. He also serves as Director of the MS Society Cambr
 idge Centre for Myelin Repair\, and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sci
 ences.
