How are schwann affected in multiple sclerosis patients?

4. Schwann cells make the insulation for nerve cells, they are kind of like the white lines on the side of the road and guard rails for our information highways in our brains and nerves throughout our bodies. You could also think of them as the rubber around a wire. They are affected in multiple sclerosis patients because in multiple sclerosis the body attacks its own schwann cells. New research is being done in this field including transplants to regrow and repair the damaged schwann cells but is mostly preventive. In Multiple Sclerosis patients the crucial material, myelin, needed to coat the neurons is being eaten away. the body needs these cells to signal to the rest of the body effectively. when the body is unable to create this material, you begin to get Multiple Sclerosis.
