Multiple Sclerosis: An Immune or Neurodegenerative Disorder? - Annual Review of Neuroscience, 31(1):247 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory-mediated demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system. The clinical disease course is variable, usually starts with reversible episodes of ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory-mediated demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system. The clinical disease course is variable, usually starts with reversible episodes of neurological disability in the third or fourth decade of life, and transforms into a disease of continuous ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the myelin sheath, a protective coating around nerve fibers. This results in inflammation, which further damages the myelin sheath, as well as the nerve cells themselves and the cells that ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered a prototype inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). The etiology of this disease remains unknown, but an interplay between as yet unidentified environmental factors and susceptibility genes appears most likely. In consequence, these ...
Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects ∼ 2.5 million individuals worldwide (National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 2008). Similar to the affected population in other autoimmune diseases, twice as many...
Living with a chronic illness such as multiple sclerosis (MS) can lead to mental health challenges, such as depression and anxiety.
Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder — recommendations from ECTRIMS and the EBMT Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a treatment option for some forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), but unce...
Is multiple sclerosis an autoimmune disease? MS is generally classified as an autoimmune disease. That said, since the specific proteins that trigger the immune system in MS to go wrong have not yet been identified, some experts prefer to call MS an "immune-mediated" disease. ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered an immune-mediated disorder in which immune cells cross the blood-brain barrier to enter the central nervous system (CNS) wherein they augment the neuropathology of the disease. This chapter discusses the role of various immune cell types that contribute to ...
New evidence indicates that multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory neurodegenerative disorder in which both adaptive and innate immune system play important roles in initiation and maintenance of the disease. (Archives of Neuropsychiatry 2008; 45 Supplement: 10-4)...
