About MBP8298 - Novel Mechanism of Action In MS patients, the body's immune system inappropriately attacks the myelin coating around the nerves in the brain and spinal column, whereas healthy people are otherwise "tolerant" of such common body components. The exact mechanism of action of emergency contraceptive pills is unknown, but the medication is thought to inhibit ovulation, fertilization, transportation of the fertilized egg to the uterus or implantation of the blastocyst in the endometrium. In establishing support for this hypothesis, the researchers were also able to demonstrate that a profile of expressed genes could serve as a template to predict the mechanism of action for a third cancer drug, etoposide (ETOP). |
