NEW YORK  - Syncytin, a virus protein that  has been around for millions of years, may play a role in the  nerve damage that occurs with multiple sclerosis (MS),  scientists report in the journal Nature Neuroscience. This  finding could lead to new treatments for the devastating  neurologic disease.
