You could also think of them as the rubber around a wire. They are affected in multiple sclerosis patients because in multiple sclerosis the body attacks its own schwann cells. New research is being done in this field including transplants to regrow and repair the damaged schwann cells but is mostly preventive. In Multiple Sclerosis patients the crucial material, myelin, needed to coat the neurons is being eaten away. the body needs these cells to signal to the rest of the body effectively. when the body is unable to create this material, you begin to get Multiple Sclerosis.
