The nerve cells are the message carriers between the brain and the rest of the body, allowing us to hear, see, balance, move and feel. Ms is a disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The body’s own immune system attacks the nerve cells so that they cannot function properly.
Each nerve cell is covered in a protective sheath called myelin, which gets damaged in ms. More than half of the patients suffering from ms have progressive disease characterised by accumulating disability. More than 2 million people worldwide are affected by ms and is the most common non-traumatic disability occurring in young individuals.
