New Study Shows How Primary Progressive MS May Differ from Other Forms of MS
Provides possible clues for improving diagnosis and treatment
Researchers have developed a model for studying primary progressive MS by taking spinal fluid from people with this form of MS and injecting it into mice. These mice experienced damage to the nervous system and movement problems similar to what is typically seen in people with primary progressive MS. This did not happen with spinal fluid samples from people with other types of MS or controls without MS.
