Oh shit. Something good for MS perhaps

This is why I bother to wander off on random tangents when looking for
stuff. I find stuff that's useful for other stuff I'm interested in or
had forgotten about.

There's some potentially promising stuff going on with this cell and
multiple sclerosis. My mum might have MS. There's a long length of life
still available but it's a progressively deteriorating brain disease. A
few decades ago there may have been limited genuine treatment options to
slow or reverse the biological cause of the disease however research has
moved on apace. There's more recent research and the Mylenin Repair
Foundation in the US have got a pretty good project going which they
hope to get FDA approval for and the MS Society is hopeful stem cell
research might procide even better solutions (I don't know if this is
stem cell research. I don't think it is).
