Expert Perspective: Toward Treat‐to‐Target Management in Adult Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Treat‐to‐target (T2T) has transformed the management of several rheumatic diseases through predefined therapeutic goals, structured disease assessment, and timely treatment adjustment. Despite major advances in the understanding and treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a formal T2T framework for adult IIM has not yet been established.

Stable expression of a recombinant human antinucleosome antibody to investigate relationships between antibody sequence, binding properties, and pathogenicity [PDF]
When purified under rigorous conditions, some murine anti-double-stranded-DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies actually bind chromatin rather than dsDNA. This suggests that they may actually be antinucleosome antibodies that only appear to bind dsDNA when they ...

Statin-induced autoimmune necrotizing myositis
Myositides comprise a large group of disorders involving limb muscle weakness. In differential diagnosis we have to consider idiopathic myositides, myositides associated with other diseases, and those induced by external factors, e.g.

Regulating Lipid Metabolism in Cancer: The Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine
By regulating the reprogramming of lipid metabolism in tumor cells, TCM provides a novel strategy for antitumor therapy with reduced toxicity and enhanced efficacy. ABSTRACT Lipid metabolic reprogramming is a key feature of tumor cells to adapt to the microenvironment and plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.

Anti-HMGCR Immune-Mediated Necrotising Myopathy: Addressing the Remaining Issues
The discovery of autoantibodies directed against the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) enzyme has defined a sub-set of immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) which is strongly associated with exposure to statin medications.
