Currently, it is not possible to assess neurodegeneration in vivo because there are no magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers sensitive and specific to myelin and axonal injury. Finding this biometric is set as a major priority by an MS International Panel of Experts, as a path toward halting neurodeg... |
