Multiple sclerosis (MS), also known as encephalomyelitis disseminate, is a potentially disabling neurodegenerative disease. In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage or deterioration of the nerves.

Signs and symptoms of MS vary widely and depend on the amount of nerve damage and which nerves are affected. Specific symptoms can include double vision, blindness in one eye, muscle weakness and trouble with sensation or coordination. https://reagents.creative-diagnostics.com/research-area/multiple-sclerosis.html
