Medical Review: Dr. Gerald Mastaw, MD – Board-Certified PhysicianLast Updated: October 2025 What Is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system (CNS), primarily the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, the protective covering around nerve fibers. This leads…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term, immune-mediated disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Over time, this immune attack damages myelin—the protective insulation around nerve fibers—as well as the nerve fibers themselves. The resulting combination of inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration disrupts…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, disrupting the way the brain and spinal cord communicate with the rest of the body. Over the years, researchers have developed many treatments that have transformed the outlook for patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), the most common form of the disease. Unfortunately,…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin. This damage interrupts communication between the brain and the body, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, difficulty walking, fatigue, and loss of coordination. MS is a complex…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by inflammation, the breakdown of the protective myelin covering of nerve fibers, and progressive nerve damage. These processes contribute to a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, sensory changes, vision problems, and cognitive difficulties. MS primarily affects…
Immune modulation plays a key role in regenerative medicine for multiple sclerosis (MS). At Stemedix, we focus on restoring immune balance to help reduce symptoms and slow disease progression. Regenerative medicine treatments, including stem cell therapies, target immune responses to decrease inflammation and support tissue repair. Since MS is an autoimmune condition, regulating immune function…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide. As this autoimmune disease disrupts the central nervous system, it leads to symptoms such as muscle weakness, numbness, and cognitive issues. In recent years, stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment to alleviate these symptoms and potentially slow the…
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a long-term condition that affects the central nervous system, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, difficulty with coordination, and cognitive issues. As people with MS search for effective treatment options, regenerative medicine is becoming an increasingly promising approach. At Stemedix, we provide regenerative medicine treatments aimed at supporting the body’s natural…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a range of physical and cognitive impairments. There are different types of MS, with the most common being relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and secondary progressive MS (SPMS). RRMS is primarily an inflammatory condition, while SPMS involves a progressive decline due to…
Progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) is a complex, disabling form of multiple sclerosis characterized by the progressive accumulation of central nervous system (CNS) damage. This damage arises from chronic inflammation, demyelination, axonal injury, neuronal degeneration, and gliosis, affecting both white and gray matter in the brain and spinal cord. Despite advancements in MS research, effective reparative…
