New treatments could stop multiple sclerosis progression for the first time

Thanks to research on brains donated by MS patients, Imperial researchers have made major advances in efforts to understand and treat the disease.

Around 100,000 people in the UK have multiple sclerosis and, while several treatments exist to treat early attacks, there is currently nothing to stop the disease from progressing. Over the last decade, Imperial scientists have contributed to major advances in our understanding of the condition by studying post-mortem brain tissue.

Then I saw that Tysabri was being used in the investigative trials!! What some researchers do to try and prove that by shaking up a MS patient's immune system, the answer will be found.
