New molecular map to guide development of new treatments for multiple sclerosis and other diseases

Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 15:30 in Health & Medicine

Scientists have created the first high-resolution virtual image of cellular structures called S1P1 receptors, which are critical in controlling the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis and other diseases. This new molecular map is already pointing researchers toward promising new paths for drug discovery and aiding them in better understanding how certain existing drugs work.
