The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Sex‐specific differences in myasthenia gravis (MG) are widely acknowledged, yet data on sex‐based outcomes of MG treatment are scarce. In accordance with Sex and Gender Equity in Research guidelines, this post hoc analysis assessed potential sex‐specific differences in treatment outcomes in acetylcholine receptor antibody ...
