Led by Dr. Jacques Galipeau, researchers at the Jewish General Hospital Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research and the McGill University in Montreal, in an experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis , managed to completely reverse the auto-immune disorder in mice.
"We took normal B-cells from mice, and sprinkled GIFT15 on them and when we gave them back intravenously to mice ill with multiple sclerosis, the disease went away." He said there were no significant side-effects in the mice, and the treatment was fully effective with a single dose. That's what we did in mice, and that's what we believe we could do in people. It would be very easy to take the next step; it's just a question of finding the financial resources and partnerships to make this a reality."
