This video describes a publication which used the experimental allergic encephalomyelitis model of multiple sclerosis to test immunological effects of lithium. The authors demonstrated profound inhibition of disease, as well as stimulation of antiinflammatory cytokines. It seemed like the anti-inflammatory effects of lithium were associated with the inhibition of the enzyme GSK-3.
Other treatments for multiple sclerosis that are experimental include fat stem cells, erythropoietin, and bone marrow stem cells.
