Promising Research Update
A paper was recently published in the journal Nature Medicine describing a report from researchers in Canada who were able to reverse EAE, the MS-like disease model in mice, using a new approach.
Dr. John Richert, Vice President for Research at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society says, “This is a novel strategy because it focuses on amplifying the abilities of the body’s own immune B cells to turn off the immune attack, but much more research is necessary before we know if this approach will ultimately be useful for treating humans with MS – not just mice – safely and effectively.”
