So we're not diagnosing multiple sclerosis. We see people already have a diagnosis, and we want to know what type of Ms. They have, how long they've had it. Some things like age, Ms. Typically comes down in the 20s and people in their 20s. And there's really two major kinds. There's one called relapsing, remitting, that kind of comes and goes, and one called progressive, which gets progressively worse. And we see both types. In both cases, these are autoimmune diseases, meaning your body's antibodies attacking parts of your brain. And the mechanism is called idiopathic means, like the word idio, like idiopathic disease. We don't know the cause of it. We do know it's autoimmune, it's immunomodulated.
