The findings offer hope that a simple blood test could one day identify people at high risk of MS in time to act before damage occurs.</p> Tue, 26 May 2026 14:12:51 +0000 admin 6561426 at /epi-biostat-occh Biochemistry Seminar: Ribosome-centred coordinated regulation of mRNA translation initiation and elongation /epi-biostat-occh/channels/event/biochemistry-seminar-ribosome-centred-coordinated-regulation-mrna-translation-initiation-and-373104 <p>Seminar by: </p> <p>Mehdi Jafarnejad Ph.D.<br /> Reader &amp;
