Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system with no effects on the peripheral nervous system. It belongs to the group of neurological demyelinating diseases. MS is characterized by a triad of an inflammatory reaction, the process of demyelination, and gliosis (scarring). The latter gives the name of the disease (from the Greek word “skleros” meaning “scars”).
