Beneath the heart-shaped clouds, two intertwined stories unfold: one of music's brightest stars, Jacqueline Du Pré, and an invisible adversary, multiple sclerosis. Her cello's melodies once touched the world, but beneath her shiny, toughened skin, her hands and body were battling a different symphony. Alemtuzumab, a Fab fragment molecule F007 / 0097, became her ally in this fight, joining the chorus of treatments against the relentless progression of MS. Yet, the disease's reach extended beyond her hands, leaving its mark on her brain, as revealed in these MRI scans. Meanwhile, in another tale, an osteoarthritic hip echoes the wear and tear of time, a silent reminder of the body's natural aging process. Both stories share a common thread: the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
