Further analysis revealed that the central nervous systems of animals that received BBIC showed "significantly less inflammation and demyelination" than those that didn't receive the therapy. "It's the first time that BBIC has been used in an EAE model and has shown significant disease suppression, and we hope it can eventually be used in humans," says Dr. Rostami. His group's next step is to design clinical trials in humans.
The researchers speculate that BBIC works by suppressing the immune response
to some extent, or by inhibiting proteases responsible for the inflammation and demyelination in MS. They study has been published in the journal Multiple Sclerosis.[Photo: Wikipedia, Credits: Scott Bauer]
