RealTalk MS Is On Right Now!

Join host Jon Strum each week as he breaks down the latest multiple sclerosis news. We’re talking about the amazing MS research that’s currently being done in laboratories around the world — and we’re talking to some of the brilliant neuroscientists who are conducting that research!

We’re monitoring the debate among our lawmakers surrounding prescription drug price transparency, healthcare legislation, funding for new and experimental MS research — anything that might impact your MS treatments.

And we’re talking with MS activists, MS caregivers, and other heroes who strive to raise the bar for those who battle MS every day.

If you’re dealing with multiple sclerosis in your life — as a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend — join us for RealTalk MS.

Episode 93: Stem Cells Are In the News & A Research Update from Dr. Karen Lee


Stem Cells are in the news, and we're talking about the U.S. District Court decision that will impact hundreds of stem cell clinics in the United States and the FDA's ability to regulate them. We'll also share two breakthroughs in stem cell research that will likely impact the future of stem cell therapy.

Dr. Karen Lee

My guest on the podcast is Dr. Karen Lee, the Vice-President of Research at the MS Society of Canada. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, and the MS Society of Canada has responded by launching research initiatives on several fronts.

Dr. Lee is going to give us an update on some of the research that the MS Society of Canada is involved in, including a major multi-year study that's focused on answering the questions, how and why does MS progress?

We have a lot to talk about. Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
