Molecular Basis of Multiple Sclerosis The Immune System

Molecular Basis of Multiple Sclerosis The Immune System / edited by Roland Martin, Andreas Lutterotti.

Despite major efforts by the scientific community over the years, our understanding of the pathogenesis or the mechanisms of injury of multiple sclerosis is still limited. Consequently, the current strategies for treatment and management of patients are limited in their efficacy. The mechanisms of t...
