Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and debilitating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects approximately 400,000 individuals in the United States and 2 million individuals worldwide. MS occurs in two forms ââ¬â progressive (primary or secondary) and relapse-remitting, and many patients with relapse-remitting forms often develop a more progressive, non-remitting disorder later in life. Although the etiology of MS is unknown, women and individuals of countries in northern latitudes have a greater incidence of MS; deficiencies in vitamin D absorption and some genetic instability are traits associated with the disorder. MS is a triphasic disease involving astrocyte activation that leads to inflammation and recruitment of activated T cells to the CNS, and subsequent demyelination, axonal damage, and neurodegeneration.
