Thanks for sharing. This is a very interesting article! 🤗
Thank you, wonderful article. I sure hope a drug is developed for PIRA soon!
That's a great article. Thanks. It's hard thinking about all the brain damage going on behind the scenes, but I can attest to the getting worse despite good MRI results. Being able to see this process/damage will make it easier to develop drugs to treat it, which is really exciting.
