It has been recently revealed that scientists from Australia have revealed the all new stem cell model of multiple sclerosis. This shall be able to open new ways for the development of new test treatments and drugs in the time to come.

It was revealed by Claude Bernard, the Deputy Director from the Monash University that he and the rest of his team had used skin cells from the MS patients in order to create a new pluripotent variety of stem cells. These shall be able to help in further research and development for a cure of the disease.

This means that now the scientists wouldn’t have to use human embryos for their research, which would put a relaxation on the ethical concerns that were included with the matter.

It was revealed by Professor Bernard that this new endeavor would be able to create a huge supply of cells for the purpose of research, and would make things easier for the scientists. It is a disease, which hasn’t been found a cure for. His is affecting many people across the world each year, and there is need for research and developmentof a proper cure that could heal the disease.

The disease also exerts a lot of pressure on the health industry of the country and this is why there is need for a proper cure to be found for the same.

”Much research to date has relied on animal models that, while similar to MS, have been very different to the human disease, which has led to ineffective and even detrimental MS treatments”, revealed Professor Bernard.

This would be able to benefit many people, and the occurrence of the disease also could be controlled with effective research.
