Tech News:Nano particles protect brain from nerve disease
multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating nerve disease diagnosed
between 20 and 40 years, according to a finding.
MS affects any area of the brain, optic nerve, and spinal cord,
damaging the myelin sheath, which protects the nerve cells, slowing
down or halting exchange of nerve signals. The symptoms vary from mild
limb numbness to paralysis and blindness.
"This finding (based on mice models) could potentially be used to halt
auto-immune diseases, such as Type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid
arthritis, and immune-mediated diseases, such as food allergy and
asthma," said Nicholas King, professor at the University of Sydney
Medical School, the journal Nature Biotechnology reported.
"We still have many experiments to do to confirm this but our research
is a genuine coup which promises to make an impact on a range of
illnesses," said King, who co-authored the study with Stephen Miller,
professor at Northwestern University, US, according to a Sydney
statement.
Daniel Getts from Northwestern who led the study was formerly King's
doctoral student at the University of Sydney.
