multiple sclerosis research

Multiple sclerosis (MS) research aims to understand how the immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system's protective coverings, called myelin, causing neurological symptoms. Researchers are exploring the underlying causes, including genetics and environmental factors, to develop better treatments. Advances include new medications to modify disease progression, improve symptoms, and reduce relapses. Scientists are also investigating regenerative strategies, like repairing nerve damage, and using advanced imaging and biomarkers to diagnose and monitor MS more effectively. Overall, research holds promise for more effective, personalized therapies and, potentially, cures in the future.
