Two discrete types of MS - Article

Thanks for this info. I find it interesting that it is U of M's study because I was at a Michigan NMSS seminar about 2 yrs ago that pointed to a study showing there were 4 different types of MS lesions and each one may correlate to a different type of MS. I wonder what happened with that study.

The National MS society launched The Lesion Project to classify the different lesion patterns of MS.

Claudia F. Lucchinetti, MD from Mayo Clinic and collaborators from the U.S., Germany and Austria were chosen to conduct this study for their previous contributions in this area. They have amassed a large collection of tissue samples from people with MS through brain biopsies or autopsy. Claudia Lucchinetti was appointed director of this project. The group has reported promising findings on samples from 83 cases. They found four types of lesions, which differed in immune system activity. Within each person, all lesions were the same, but lesions differed from person to person.

I find it interesting and I'm glad to see more money has been set aside for this project.
