Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack and destroy the protective myelin sheaths that surround nerve fibres, leading to neurological disturbances.

The etiology of multiple sclerosis is linked to a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses, triggered by extraneous or autoantigens, are likely to contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease. A greater insight into the fundamental cause of mul...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that leads to the demyelination of nerve axons. An increasing number of studies suggest that patients with MS exhibit altered metabolic profiles, which might contribute to the course of MS. However, the alteration of metabolic profiles in Chinese pat...
Multiple sclerosis is almost universally labeled an “autoimmune disease.” Yet after decades of research,there is still no proof that MS is the result of autoimmunity. Several papers by Drs. Abhijit Chaudhuri and Peter Behan [1,2] discuss problems with the conventional explanation: ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that damages the protective covering around nerves in the brain and spinal cord due to inflammation. In areas of the brain and spinal cord affected by MS, signals transmitted across nerves are slowed or blocked, causing neurological symptoms ...
Multiple Sclerosis 01 Summary Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). Normally, antibodies produced by the immune system help protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances...
An autoimmune background is thought to characterize the families of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, but disease patterns and HLA–DR association seem to vary considerably among different ethnic groups. We investigated the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in 245 MS patients and 245 age– and sex–...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is anautoimmune disordercharacterized by muscle weakness and numbness, as well as problems with vision and bladder control. It is caused by the immune system attacking nerve-insulating myelin sheaths, which disrupts the communication between the brain and peripheral parts of th...
