WARNING TO HARRYZ AND HIS HENCHMEN/FOLLOWERS - PLEASE READ NO FURTHER. THERE ARE REFERENCES TO ANIMAL MODELS OF MS / AUTOIMMUNITY AND OTHER TERRIBLE THINGS. NO NEED TO COMMENT AS WE ACKNOWLEDGE / RESPECT YOUR VIEWS ON THESE MATTERS
For those such as Lyon / Dignan etc (basically the nice people who visit this site), please read on:
The UK MS Society has announced $9 million of research grants (paltry compared to the US, but we make a little go a long way over here). Details of the grants are provided in the link. Of interest:
Big focus on nerve damage / protection
Phase II study ($800K) for Hook Worms (for my old friend Bob) - see link called "Open Strand".
Update on key projects such as the Cambridge Myelin Repair Centre - see link "Update on Key Programmes".
http://www.mssociety.org.uk/news_events/news/research/spring_2008.html
Hope you find it of interest.
Ian

 I think you're already aware that compliments Ian giveth, he will soon taketh away.
In this case he obviously wanted to slam Harry slightly more than he abhorred complimenting me, but there is no doubt that my time is coming!

Good afternoon Ian,
I see that you are enjoying your long break from the House, but I think you might have taken just a bit too much sun.
