This would be wonderful if they could find a way to make it a reality for humans. Thanks for sharing the article with us, Twink!

I have one question. I've always wondered about this when they say "mice with MS". How do they know the mouse has MS? Do they do an MRI? An LP? It's a dx that takes so long for some people - what with eliminating dozens of other conditions and all - how do they dx MS in mice? What's the protocol?

My cog fog is brutal these days so the answer may be very obvious.....ya'll don't laugh at me if it is!
