Relapses Prevented in Multiple Sclerosis Mouse Model

Researchers at theĀ University of Heidelberg, Germany, recently showed that peripheral blood cells loaded with a drug that resembles the myelin protein are able to inhibit harmful immune responses and prevent relapses in a mouse model of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). The findings were described in the study “…

MS Progression Halted Using Stem Cells Derived from Gum Tissue

A new source of stem cells, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from the human periodontal ligament (hPDLSCs), offers a potential treatmentĀ capable of halting multiple sclerosis (MS) progression. The study, ā€œAlternative source of stem cells derived from human periodontal ligament: a new treatment for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis,ā€ was published…
