Are new treatments for multiple sclerosis on the horizon?
new treatments for multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that is caused by the body’s immune system’s attack against myelin, which is made up of protein and fats. Myelin forms a coat around the nerves to protect them from damage. The loss of myelin in multiple sclerosis results in scar tissue to be formed instead, which appear as lesions. hen the nerves aren’t protected, they fail to conduct electrical impulses normally to the brain.
As a result, people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis experience difficulty when walking, numbness, pins and needles, muscle weakness, have issues with balance and coordination, and are affected by blurry vision. Nearly one million people live with the disease in the U.S., according to a study by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
