Many publications cover medical and clinical approaches to the disease; however, The Biology of Multiple Sclerosis provides a clear and concise up-to-date overview of the scientific literature on the various theories of MS pathogenesis. Covering the main elements of scientific research into multiple sclerosis, the book contains chapters on the neuropathology of the disease as well as an account of the most extensively used animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The book contains chapters regarding the role of viruses in the development of multiple sclerosis. Viruses have long been implicated and chapters on animal models based on virus infection, as well as their possible role in the etiology of MS, are included. Of interest to MS researchers, the book is written to also be of value to postgraduate and medical students. 606 $aMultiple sclerosis 615 0$aMultiple sclerosis. 676 $a616.8/34 700 $aAtkins$b Gregory J.$01050186 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452990503321 996 $aThe biology of multiple sclerosis$92479775 997 $aUNINA
