The scarcity of medications for progressive MS is due to our lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms and etiologic triggers that cause axonal loss and demyelination that drive the progression of disability. Because age is the only factor to date that correlates with progression in MS\, my lab is investigating i f mechanisms of aging such as the gut microbiota and autophagy are etiolog ic triggers that contribute to neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative pat hologies that drive MS progression.\n DTSTART:20241105T210000Z DTEND:20241105T220000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: Aging Mechanisms and Progressive Multiple Sc lerosis URL:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-aging- mechanisms-and-progressive-multiple-sclerosis-359679 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
