Although the exact cause of MS is not known yet, it is clear that the immune system is involved in the disease. All current medications for MS therefore focus on the immune response. These drugs do not provide a cure, but create a delayed progression of the disease.

Analyzing the transfer of technology from one place to another can be a very difficult task.

After reading The Tools of Empire by Daniel R. Headrick and excerpts from both Technology in World Civilization by A.

Since its humble beginning as a small drugstore, Merck has placed a large amount of importance on improving the health and well-being of its customers. As drug patents expire and genetic forms of their top products become available, Merck’s strategy is to do the unexpected; instead of raising the price of their older products in favor of patent protected new drugs, Merck focuses on reducing their cost in order to better compete with their generic counterparts. Additionally, Merck’s plan for growth now encompasses a much more aggressive pursuit of new drugs in their pipeline through extensive research. Merck became the second largest health care company in the world after the merger with Schering-Plough in 2009 and has contributed great discoveries like the first cervical cancer vaccine and great resources like the Merck Manuals which are utilized as a source of information to doctors, scientists and consumers worldwide .
