Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journal IJMS is about the publication of research articles that deal with the immunological, molecular and cellular changes and peculiarities in patients with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that suddenly affects many people. To date, it is not really clear what changes cause patients to become ill. Apparently, MS is an autoimmune disease, a disorder of the immune system that activates the cells of the immune system against the body’s own structures. There are several foci in the central nervous system. As an expression of these lesions, patients experience sensory disturbances and movement disorders. These physical limitations are often a shock for patients and literally take their lives away.
The aim of this Issue is to bring together the current state of research on the molecular level of the disease. What disorders of the immune system are found in connection with the disease? Can these new findings possibly help to treat the disease on a molecular level in the near future?
Dr. Borros Michael Arneth
