Thanks Cure. I had seen something about it last week, but could not find any confirmation. I just looked again and there was a press release on August 21: http://tinyurl.com/8gfzkee I am glad this Kv1.3 channel blocker has finally made it to the clinic after years of press releases and interesting a...

If by "cure", you mean something available to people with MS and not just a lab discovery, I'd say it's highly unlikely that there will be a cure in the next 10 years. It often takes around 10 years for substances to go through the 3 phase clinical trial process and gain regulatory approva...

More interesting stuff on twins and epigenetics: There is no such thing as identical where twins are concerned October 14, 2011 - Identical twins have identical genomes, but that is where it stops. There are subtle differences in their personalities, how they look, how they act and in their suscepti...

I think this is big news, thanks squiffy.

rssugg, I would love it if Revimmune was on the cusp of FDA approval, but unfortunately, Accentia hasn't even started the pivotal phase 3 trial(s) yet. It will probably take 1-2 years to recruit all the study participants, then another 2 years to run the trial(s), a few months for data compilation a...
