Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

WE ONLY HAVE ONE AREA OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND THAT IS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO BENEFIT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) PATIENTS. CURRENTLY OUR RESEARCH IS FOCUSED ON EXPERIMENTS TO IDENTIFY BIOMARKERS TO INDICATE REPAIR OF MYELIN DAMAGED BY MS. OVER THE LAST YEAR, WE FOCUSED OUR RESEARCH ON EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES(EVS) ISOLATED FROM BLOOD. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 13 INVESTIGATIONS UNDERWAY SPREAD ACROSS EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA. WE HAVE ENCOURAGING PRELIMINARY DATA SHOWING THAT WE CAN CLEARLY DISTINGUISH MS PATIENT EV'S FROM HEALTHY CONTROLS AND MAY BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SUB-TYPES OF MS.
