Lecture Overview: The most common clinical features of multiple sclerosis in its initial disease course are recurrent episodes of neurologic dysfunction, termed “relapses,” caused by inflamed lesions within the central nervous system. These lesions destroy critical membranes required for the central nervous system to function properly. Dr. Antel will discuss potential treatments for MS, including clinical therapies aimed at reducing inflammation and eliminating lesions. Current research is aimed at finding ways to not only stop membrane destruction, but to aid in the repair process.
