ADVANCES IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
.
University Department of Clinical Neurology, Radcliffe Infirmary, Woodstock Road, Oxford, UK
Advances in Multiple Sclerosis is composed of reviews that cover topics associated in the main with recent advances. It is divided into five sections covering genetics, immunology, magnetic resonance imaging, treatment and the organization of care in multiple sclerosis.
It opens with `What the specialist in multiple sclerosis needs to know about genetics', and achieves this in a concise up-to-date overview. A short summary on the genetic control of EAE follows that adds little to our understanding of multiple sclerosis. However, such research is likely to have future relevance in understanding and identifying genes in polygenic diseases in general.
The Immunology section
