Therapeutic effects of N-Arachidonoyl methionine on a chronic demyelination model
This project will test whether a naturally occurring molecule in the body, called N-arachidonoyl methionine (NAM), can help repair brain damage. The research focuses on a condition where the protective coating around nerve fibres (myelin) is lost, which can lead to problems with movement, memory, and overall brain function. Using a well-established mouse model, the intern will examine whether NAM can reduce this damage and restore healthy brain structure. For the partner organization, Thesselis, this project will provide important early-stage data on the therapeutic potential of NAM, supporting its development as a possible treatment for neurological disorders. These findings will help guide future research and product development, strengthening the company’s innovation pipeline in brain health.
