Immunobiology
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to the destruction of the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. This demyelination disrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body, causing a wide range of neurological symptoms. The disease is characterized by episodes of exacerbation and remission, which can vary in severity and duration among individuals.
