Multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease for which there is as yet no cure, affects three women for every one man. Faced with this observation, the research group led by Elisabeth Traiffort within unit U1195 is interested in the role of sex hormones to better understand the differences between men and women in the face of the disease as well as its progression. He has just shown that even if the male hormones – androgens – are present at very low levels in women, their presence is necessary to regenerate the myelin sheath which is destroyed in multiple sclerosis. These results are published in the journal Nature Communications.
