Source: University of California - Irvine
Date: October 30, 2006

Summary:

Researchers have identified how the body's own immune system contributes to the nerve fiber damage caused by multiple sclerosis, a finding that can potentially aid earlier diagnosis and improved treatment for this chronic disease.

Commentary: This finding could provide researchers with new understanding of the neurodgenerative functions of multiple sclerosis in order to develop effective treatments for it.
