    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on Lawrence Steinman, a neurologist from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California who studied the role of protein αB-crystallin (CRYAB), an eye lens protein in the neurological disease multiple sclerosis. The work of Steinman distinguished CRYAB as a central agent in controlling inflammation and programmed cell death in the brain. Steinman's team has also shown that CRYAB likewise tones down many inflammatory pathways and helps in preventing programmed cell death.
