Breakthrough published in Nature
 

I hate sensationalism/raising (false?) hopes in everybody affected by MS.

But this group of researchers do have some credentials to show. The leader, Prof. Lars Fugger, have received the Descartes Prize (the European "little" Nobel Prize), on the road to this article.

This really is exciting: The two genes responsible for MS is located and their interactions is discribed down to the molecular level!
We are talking the possible ability to fix/regulate or prevent the underlying processes that results in several autoimmune disseases. Not merely modulating immune responses like we do with BetaInteferons.

Way over my head! So:
How about it, XO, being a (silent) fan of yours for several years?.....

And by the way, this is my first post, having been a lurker for too long :o
