Article Synopsis
- - Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS), leading to nerve damage and inflammation, with notable differences between relapsing and progressive forms of the disease.
- - Current treatments focus on managing relapses and reducing disability, primarily through corticosteroids and disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), which have limitations in reversing existing damage and are less effective in progressive MS.
- - Innovative approaches involving neural stem cells (NSCs) are being explored, showing potential for tissue regeneration and reduction of disease symptoms, marking a promising direction for future MS therapies.
