New MS treatment using stem cells may produce revolutionary results
A novel Canadian treatment to halt the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) is being hailed as revolutionary, after doctors and researchers used the new stem cell transplant method to treat the disease. The results of the trial, published in The Lancet medical journal, showed long-term improvement of disease control in 23 out of 24 MS patients tested. The treatment combined chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. It halted relapses and the development of new brain lesions in 23 of 24 patients...

First blood biomarker for multiple sclerosis discovered
Although there is no known cure for multiple sclerosis (MS), there are treatments that can help prevent new attacks and improve function after an attack. However, there are three subtypes of the disease and determining this, as well as the appropriateness and effectiveness of a patient's current treatment, involves an array of expensive, time-consuming tests. Now, after a search lasting 12 years, an international team of researchers has identified a biomarker that would allow MS subtypes to be determined with a simple blood test.
