RM2BEH5XY–An illustration of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that damages the central nervous system, resulting in a variety of symptoms including muscle spasms, loss of balance and coordination, numbness, and muscle weakness. In multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheath which protects a neuron's axon is attacked by the immune system, due to what is thought to be a virus or defective gene. When that protective covering is damaged, nerve signals slow down or stop. This illustration depicts a neuron affect by the disease, as well as a cross-sectional view of the brain with scarring and plaque format

RF2JW32MW–Illustration of damaged nerve cells caused by the degenerative disease multiple sclerosis. Immune system cells (microglia, orange) have attacked the nerve cell sheaths (myelin), resulting in damaged myelin (red) and disturbed signalling function between the nerves cells (neurons, blue). Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disorder that can cause tingling, speech disorders, lack of coordination, paralysis and death. The microglia cells attack the oligodendrocytes that form the insulating myelin sheath around neuron axons, leading to the destruction of the myelin sheath.
