2. Introduction
 A community-based neurological practice in Charlotte, NC, The
Neurological Institute is dedicated to improving patient care. In
addition, The Neurological Institute prioritizes medical education and
research in Charlotte, NC. The research in question focuses on
conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and
multiple sclerosis (MS).
MS, an autoimmune disease, involves an autoimmune attack on the
protective covering of the nerve cells. A researcher at Cambridge
University believes that she may have found a potential cure for the
disease that involves LIF, a stem cell particle. Research has shown
that LIF can help prevent the autoimmune attack on these cells and
repair brain tissue and other forms of tissue.
However, there is much to be done. It turns out that the body breaks
LIF down after it has spent about 20 minutes outside the cell,
resulting in some therapeutic hurdles. The researcher believes that
using nanoparticles to deliver LIF could prevent this problem.
Antibodies could be attached to nanoparticles to direct the LIP
therapy to specific parts of the brain. Clinical trials of this therapy in
humans may begin by 2020.
