Will MS ever be reversed?
There currently is no cure for MS. However, findings from a new Johns Hopkins Medicine study provide strong support for a promising advance toward that goal: the ability to reverse — and in many cases, completely alleviate — MS-like symptoms in mice. The study appears today in the journal Science Advances.
Has anyone ever been healed from MS?

Will MS ever go away?
