The federal Project Grant award R21NS136961, totaling $241,500.00, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports research conducted by the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University to investigate discrete neurodegenerative changes in the spinal cord of people with multiple sclerosis using 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The research aims to determine if intermediate lesions, characterized by swollen dystrophic axons and activated microglia/macrophages, can be detected distinctly from hyperintense lesions in vivo, and whether there are differences in lesion detection between 7T and 3T MRI. The findings are expected to identify the ability of advanced MRI techniques to detect potential neurodegenerative changes distal to demyelination and elucidate patient characteristics that lead to wallerian degeneration or axonal loss in multiple sclerosis. The award has a project period from July 18, 2024 to June 30, 2026.
