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.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely believed to be an autoimmune disorder. Another exciting idea regarding the aetiology of MS may be that the immune response in MS could result from a chronic infection rather than autoimmunity in the usual sense. M. leprae-induced myelin damage in the early ...
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...
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 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: ...
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...
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...
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....
