How Is Multiple Sclerosis An Autoimmune Disease? - All About the Immune System

How Is Multiple Sclerosis An Autoimmune Disease? Have you ever wondered how the immune system can sometimes turn against the body it’s meant to protect? In this informative video, we’ll explain the process behind autoimmune diseases, focusing on multiple sclerosis (MS). We’ll start by defining what an autoimmune disease is and how it differs from a healthy immune response. You’ll learn how certain immune cells, like T cells and B cells, mistakenly attack the body’s own nerve insulation called myelin, leading to nerve damage. We’ll discuss how this damage affects communication between the brain and spinal cord, resulting in symptoms such as weakness, numbness, coordination issues, and vision problems.

We’ll also explore what causes the immune system to lose its ability to distinguish between self and non-self, including factors like infections, genetics, and lifestyle choices. You’ll discover how the body attempts to repair the damage and why this process often falls short, leading to long-term effects. Understanding how the immune system’s failure to maintain self-tolerance results in chronic inflammation and nerve damage is essential for grasping the complexities of MS.

Join us for this detailed explanation and learn how ongoing research aims to develop treatments that can better regulate the immune response, reduce damage, and improve quality of life for those affected. Don’t forget to subscribe for more insights on the immune system and autoimmune diseases.
