Imagine
reversing the course of conditions like Alzheimer's or multiple sclerosis, in which cells of the central nervous system stop working or die. Researchers at Johnson & Johnson are hot on the trail of innovative solutions that may do just that, preventing often-debilitating symptoms along the way.

De Wet, M.D., reflect on how those treatments have saved lives and continue to evolve, in this moving video, filmed for AIDS 2022, the annual International AIDS Conference.
