yes this was commented on today in the news.
The doctor commenting it said there were other studies that say that D does help with MS,

and there were twin studies with D, and it helped,

and that he does not know the details of this mouse study so he does not know why D did not help with the mice.

(there is always the chance the doses were way too small do have any impact...that happened with previous D studies on hip fractures in old people. Tiny tiny doses that could not work)

yeah, N. Northernlights, thanks for posting that response.....that study kind of concerned me as it seemed to contradict previous studies with D....

clasic, you will find out next that sunlight weakends the immune system. it seems like everything people "know" about medicine is constantly contradicting itself.
