As we age, our bodies undergo biological changes. Our immune system changes. Our brain changes with age. Our cognitive abilities change, as do our physical abilities. These changes impact everyone. But these biological processes may impact people with MS differently. And MS may impact these biological processes differently.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS brought together 100 top experts for a 3-day workshop dedicated to exploring how these many and varied changes can impact MS care.

In Part 2 of our coverage, we're taking you back inside this workshop, where you'll hear from some of the top MS researchers and clinicians who participated in this important meeting.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
