A new culprit for multiple sclerosis relapses
The research also shows a new way to study multiple sclerosis (MS) in mice that is closer to the human form of the disease. #neurology #multiplesclerosis #health

Society-led study just released: There are twice as many people living with MS in the US than previously thought.
“I am glad to know that MS is a focus and that there is a push to get accurate numbers. The larger the number of people to study, the better we can figure out ...

To the robot who turned 90 days into 15 years of exploration:
You were, and are, the Opportunity of a lifetime.
Rest well, rover. Your mission is complete.
