Another example of why supporting basic science research is important. Interestingly this breakthrough is at a children's hospital whereas ms is a predominately adult disease. Sadly this initial work was supported by your tax dollars via the nih, but further research will be done by a newly created private company, so new they have nothing on their website |
Your post is welcome news for anyone with a friend or a family member with ms.
Very encouraging.
