Study Identifies Protein that Inhibits Brain Tissue Repair in MS Patients

For patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), current therapies can be effective, but have little impact in promoting tissue growth. Recent research by Vittorio Gallo, director of the Center for Neuroscience Research at Children's National Health System, has found a "potentially novel therapeutic target" to reduce the rate of deterioration and to promote growth of brain cells damaged by MS.
