The main topics will focus on : grey matter damage in MS, functional reorganization and rehabilitation, translation of -omics results into clinical practice, non-lesional pathology, cellular infiltration into the brain: new ways for immunomodulation in MS, neuroprotective strategies, how to measure clinical progression, remyelinating cell therapy.
The Preliminary Programme will be available in April 2011 and will include information on abstracts, registration and hotel reservation.
