Research Breakthrough Selectively Represses The Immune System
In a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed innovative technology to selectively inhibit the part of the immune system responsible for attacking myelin -- the insulating material that encases nerve fibers and facilitates electrical communication between brain cells.
