How are schwann affected in multiple sclerosis patients?
4. Schwann cells make the insulation for nerve cells, they are kind of like the white lines on the side of the road and guard rails for our information highways in our brains and nerves throughout our bodies. 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.
Is multiple sclerosis bacterial or viral?
It is neither bacterial nor viral. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. That means that your body's immune system is attacking parts of your body. In the case of multiple sclerosis the immune system is attacking the protective cover around the nerve cells.
What is the name of a autoimmune disease characterized by patches of unmyelinated nerve fibers?
multiple sclerosis (MS)
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain?
Multiple sclerosis is a condition characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This demyelination disrupts the ability of nerve fibers to conduct electrical impulses, leading to various neurological symptoms.
What is demyelinating processes?
Demyelination is the process that erodes the sheath that normally protects nerve cells. This causes a reduction in the nerve impulse conduction. One of the diseases that causes this is multiple sclerosis.
