Playing a musical instrument could help restore brain health, research suggests
June 8, 2017

Tibetan singing bowls were used to help uncover why playing a musical instrument can protect brain health. (credit: Baycrest Health Sciences) A study by neuroscientists at Toronto-based Baycrest Rotman Research Institute and Stanford University involving playing a musical instrument suggests ways to improve brain rehabilitation methods. In the study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience on May 24, 2017, the researchers asked young adults to listen to sounds from an unfamiliar musical instrument (a Tibetan singing bowl). Half of …

33 blood-cancer patients have dramatic clinical remission with new T-cell therapy
June 7, 2017

Killer T-cells surround a cancer cell (credit: NIH) Chinese doctors have reported success with a new type of immunotherapy for multiple myeloma*, a blood cancer: 33 out of 35 patients in a clinical trial had clinical remission within two months. The researchers used a type of T cell called “chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T.”** In a phase I clinical trial in China, the patient’s own T cells were collected, genetically reprogrammed in a lab, and …


I wonder if these T-cells have anything to do with MS, or, for that matter, if any T-cells do...

If anybody actually thinks some unknown kind of T cell actually cause MS or some part of it, perhaps this technology of genetically reprogrammng them can be used to cure it. Does anybody care? Is there any more information/detail available from the Chinese? If anybody really believes there is some kind of B cell that is being overtaken by some other microogrganism perhaps there are killer T cells that can be reprogrammed to recognize/kill the offending microorganism. Are we even close to knowing what causes MS?
