Kappa opioid receptor activation alleviates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and promotes oligodendrocyte-mediated remyelination

Current treatments of multiple sclerosis are aimed at immunosuppression. Here the authors show that kappa opioid receptor is important for oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination and the receptor agonists are protective in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.
