A new experimental drug has shown promise in treating multiple sclerosis in mice model. Study author Dr. Scott Zamvil said, “This study has given us more insight into how laquinimod works. But because this was an animal study, more research needs to be done before we know if it could have similar results in people. [Still] these results are promising because they provide hope for people with progressive MS, an advanced version of the disease for which there is currently no treatment.”
