Delays Progression: Presented at ANA
By Paula Moyer
CHICAGO, IL — October 12, 2006 — Patients with multiple sclerosis
(MS) who start treatment with interferon beta-1b (Betaseron) at the
time of their first demyelinating event have a longer time to

B-cells damage axons during MS
New information in emerging area of MS research could aid therapy
development
Researchers have identified how the body’s own immune system
contributes to the nerve fiber damage caused by multiple sclerosis, a
finding that can potentially aid earlier diagnosis and improved
treatment for this chronic disease.
The study reveals how immune system B-cells damage axons during MS
attacks by inhibiting energy production in these nerve fiber cells,
ultimately causing them to degenerate and die. Study results appear
in the… read more »

Scientists ID Switch for Brain’s Natural Anti-Oxidant Defense
Description
Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute report they have found how
the brain turns on a system designed to protect its nerve cells from
toxic “free radicals,” a waste product of cell metabolism that has
been implicated in some degenerative brain diseases, heart attacks,
strokes, cancer, and aging.
