Are we seeing the end of the mousers?


If we do a quick check on the number of papers containing encephalomyelitis for EAE by year and compare it with multiple sclerosis by year, we can see the number of EAE papers have been dropping.

This was running running at about 1100-1200 responses and there were about 5000-6000 responses for multiple sclerosis. This is now
1000-1100

Year                EAE    MS
2017               1076   6056 current x 4
2016                994    5272
2015              1251    5432
2014              1205    5264
2013              1226    5037
2012              1130    4570
2011              1160    4297
2010              1159    4035

There is now less money in the system and maybe the funders are moving on. There are less "severe" to study basic science question for immunology. Have EAE had it's day?
