What is degenerative sclerosis?
Degenerative sclerosis refers to a condition characterized by the hardening and degeneration of tissue, often affecting the nervous system or connective tissues. It can occur in various diseases, such as multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers is damaged. This results in impaired neurological function, which can manifest as muscle weakness, coordination issues, and other neurological symptoms. The term highlights both the degeneration of tissue and the consequent sclerosis, or hardening, that can occur as part of the disease process.
