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. Latest Research and Reviews New autoimmune disorder development after immune reconstitution therapy for multiple sclerosis ...
Nine patients suffering from both multiple sclerosis and presumed auto-immune disorder were found from a survey of case records of 326 patients with multiple sclerosis admitted to a large city hospital between 1955 and 1970. There was autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid gland in four cases, ...
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 ...
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 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...
A. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Definition • Autoimmune, chronic inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system; intermittent episodic neurologic impairments of varying severity caused by multiple demyelinating lesions, often of different ages • Key pathologic features: •...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system with an unknown origin, although the immunological system plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis. It has been observed that the relatives of MS patients very often have other autoimmune diseases (ADs) and it...
MBP is a major protein component of the myelin sheath, a protective membrane that wraps around the axon of nerve cells and acts as a model protein in studying diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS).What is Multiple Sclerosis?About: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that...
Multiple sclerosis(MS) is anautoimmuneinflammatory disease of thecentral nervous systemthat leads to the degeneration of nerves in the brain andspinal cord. The immune or infection-fighting system in MS patients attacks the body's own cells, causing progressive damage in the brain and spinalcord....
1.1Multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosisis a neurodegenerating autoimmune disease and possibly incapacitating disease of the brain and spinal cord[26], which may involve sensory and motor neural deficits and impair the functional state of the neural way[26,27]. A set of responses of differentimmune...
