  This site posts excerpts and summaries of articles of interest to people with multiple sclerosis and their families, along with links to the full articles in the journals in which they were published.

  I have multiple sclerosis (primary progressive), but I am neither a doctor nor a research scientist. I have no connection to the people mentioned in these articles, and have no more information about the subject of any given article than is contained in the article itself. Please do not ask me for medical advice or how to contact people mentioned in these articles. If contact information is not contained in the article itself, your best bet is to Google the name of the person, company or clinic you are seeking.
