Cure Research for Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Research discussion:
Scientists are also looking at the workings of the
immune system to find which cells are responsible for beginning and
carrying out the attack on the nervous system. The fact that so many cases
of Guillain-Barré begin after a viral or bacterial infection suggests that
certain characteristics of some viruses and bacteria may activate the
immune system inappropriately. Investigators are searching for those
characteristics.
