What Is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis is a disorder of the immune system that is caused by a malfunction of our body defenses. In multiple sclerosis, healthy cells of the nervous system are destroyed, and this leads to many health problems, like paralysis. Multiple sclerosis affects a lot of people worldwide. Treatments exist but are still not entirely efficient and do not work for all patients. Many researchers are studying this disease and our group is focusing on specific cells of the immune system that might be playing a role in multiple sclerosis.
