- Abstract
The article presents a study by researcher V.A. Deshmukh and colleagues which reveals that the drug benztropine helps to repair myelin sheath in case of multiple sclerosis. The study reveals that benztropine promotes the differentiation of oligodendrocytes in vitro and also supports remyelination in animal models of multiple sclerosis (MS).
