A new study conducted by a team from the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School could help researchers in understanding how the mysterious Multiple Sclerosis-named disease forms.

Multiple sclerosis or MS is a neurological illness. A patient could realize symptom such as tingling or numbness. Another patient could even suffer loss of vision due to the same.

The study involved analysis of spinal fluid of nine patients of MS. All of them had gone through the early symptoms. Dr. Steven Schutzer used a special high-powered technology and unveiled a huddle of proteins, unique to the first attacks.

It has been told that, the fluid signature differentiated the early patients when compared to healthy people's spinal fluid. The fluid was also compared to the spinal fluid of a number of MS patients, who were at an advanced stage.

As yet, doctors have no knowledge about the formation of MS. They only are familiar with the fact that the disease occurred when myelin, the protective insulation covering nerve fibers, was destroyed. Tough scar tissue was left behind.

More research is being urged to reach a conclusion, the report found. "That's a striking finding. These data suggest to us the grey matter injury is critical and happens early", Coyle said.
