Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the
nervous system, affecting about 1 million people worldwide. Even though it has
been known for over a hundred years, no cause or cure has yet been
discovered—but now there is hope. New therapies have been shown to slow the
disease progress in some patients, and the pace of discoveries about the
cellular machinery of the brain and spinal cord has accelerated.
