Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that damages the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS). Myelinating glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes, produce and maintain the myelin sheath in the CNS. In MS, the immune system attacks and damages or destroys these myelinating glial cells, leading to demyelination and neurological symptoms. Thus, the death of myelinating glial cells is the primary cause of MS.
