Description:	NIH Director's Seminar Series Does the white matter lesion in multiple sclerosis (MS) still matter in the age of highly effective disease-modifying therapy, which acts primarily to stop new lesions from forming? Evidence suggests that it does – not just because the most effective therapies are also the riskiest, but also because therapies that stop new lesions from forming do not appear to impact chronic inflammation or enhance repair. In this seminar, Dr. Reich will discuss his lab’s findings from the past few years about the development and early repair of white matter lesions in MS, and how those findings are mirrored in inflammatory demyelinating lesions in a primate model of MS. Dr. Reich will describe pathological changes that occur prior to demyelination and show how failed early repair can lead to smoldering inflammation at the lesion edge, with its attendant slow myelin destruction. He will also report on progress in imaging the recently described meningeal lymphatic system.

Abstract:	(CIT): Does the white matter lesion in multiple sclerosis (MS) still matter in the age of highly effective disease-modifying therapy, which acts primarily to stop new lesions from forming? Evidence suggests that it does - not just because the most effective therapies are also the riskiest, but also because therapies that stop new lesions from forming do not appear to impact chronic inflammation or enhance repair. In this seminar, Dr. Reich will discuss his lab's findings from the past few years about the development and early repair of white matter lesions in MS, and how those findings are mirrored in inflammatory demyelinating lesions in a primate model of MS. Dr. Reich will describe pathological changes that occur prior to demyelination and show how failed early repair can lead to smoldering inflammation at the lesion edge, with its attendant slow myelin destruction. He will also report on progress in imaging the recently described meningeal lymphatic system.
