Gene therapy in autoimmune, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system (CNS), where suspected autoimmune attack causes nerve demyelination and progressive neurodegeneration and should benefit from both anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective strategies. Although neuroprotection strategies are relatively unexplored in MS, systemic delivery of

The privilege of immunity in immune privileged organs: The case of the eye
Understanding of ocular diseases and the search for their cure have been based on the common assumption that the eye is an immune privileged site, and the consequent conclusion that entry of immune cells to this organ is forbidden.
