Nervous system

The destruction of CNS myelin sheaths and the formation of hardened scars are characteristic features of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, coordination difficulties, and cognitive problems.
"Sclerosis" refers to the hardening or thickening of tissues or organs. It can occur as a result of various conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, a disease that causes damage to the protective covering of nerves in the brain and spinal cord.
