Microparticle-delivered therapy likely to be the first step toward stopping autoimmune diseases

According to the federal government's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, nearly 3 million people worldwide - with almost a third in the United States - are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disabling neurological disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks nerves feeding information to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Although rarely fatal, MS can lead to long-term disabilities, and impair movement, muscle control, vision and cognition.
