Researchers turn to lab-grown ‘mini brains’ in search of ways to repair MS damage
29 July 2026
The research, funded through MS Australia's mid-year grants round and based at The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, will investigate how the brain naturally produces myelin, the protective coating around nerve fibres that is damaged by MS.
Through its mid-year grants, MS Australia is investing early in promising research ideas and researchers at the start of their careers, to help drive the next wave of innovation and leadership in MS research.
