Our goal is to understand why myelin repair fails in multiple sclerosis and to develop regenerative medicines for the nervous system. A central obstacle for progress in this area has been the complex biology underlying the response to CNS injury. Acute CNS damage is followed by a multicellular response that encompasses different cell types and spans different scales. Currently, we do not understand which factors determines lesion recovery. Failure of inflammation to resolve is a key underlying reason of poor regeneration, and one focus is therefore on the biology of microglia during de- and remyelination, and their cross talk to other cells, in particular oligodendrocytes and the progenitor cells. In addition, we are exploring the link between lipid metabolism and inflammation, and its role in the regulation of regeneration. I will report about our recent progress in our understanding of how microglia promote regeneration in the CNS.
