Finally, the addition of normal CGI-58 in cells having the CDS mutation restores lipid breakdown and reverses the abnormal triglyceride accumulation typical of patients with ...Selectively blocking inflammatory signals may protect mice from MS
...that surround and protect nerves could lead to new treatments for demyelinating diseases such a multiple sclerosis, a research team reports in the May 10, 2006, issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

"If we can unravel the mystery of how SLIRP works to turn down the hormone action in cancer cells we could potentially develop so-called 'smart' drugs that zoom in on the gene," he said.
