Breakthrough compounds may reverse nerve damage caused by multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term autoimmune condition that affects over 2.9 million people around the world.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term autoimmune condition that affects over 2.9 million people around the world. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, a protective layer that insulates nerve fibers.
This damage interrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, vision problems, and paralysis. Although existing treatments can help reduce inflammation, there are still no approved therapies that protect neurons or rebuild the damaged myelin sheath.
