Advances in multiple Sclerosis and Experimental Demyelinating Diseases

"There is a need for a paradigm shift in our thinking about the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis." Challenging Charcot’s hypothesis that inflammatory response is the primary contributor to demyelination, Dr. Rodriguez and colleagues take a fresh, bold look at the causes and possible trea...
