Remote Monitoring in Myasthenia Gravis: Exploring Symptom Variability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1106-1117, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, autoimmune disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness and potential life‐threatening crises. While continuous specialized care is essential, access barriers often delay timely interventions. To address this, we developed MyaLink, a telemedical platform for MG patients.

Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1129-1140, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

Upper girdle imaging in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundIn Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), the upper girdle is early involved and often difficult to assess only relying on physical examination.

The Effects of Resistance Exercise Training on Strength and Functional Tasks in Adults With Limb-Girdle, Becker, and Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: The inclusion of resistance training in the treatment and management of muscular dystrophy has previously been discouraged, based on mainly anecdotal evidence.

DUX4-Induced Histone Variants H3.X and H3.Y Mark DUX4 Target Genes for Expression

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The DUX4 transcription factor is briefly expressed in the early cleavage-stage embryo, where it induces an early wave of zygotic gene transcription, whereas its mis-expression in skeletal muscle causes the muscular dystrophy facioscapulohumeral ...

From Pharmacodynamic Biomarker to Evaluating Treatment Response: Biomarkers in Primary Mitochondrial Diseases

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary mitochondrial diseases (PMDs) result from genetic variants in nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA which commonly lead to aberrant oxidative phosphorylation. The clinical complexity, often attributed to the underlying genetics, includes several distinct syndromes (e.g., Barth syndrome; Pearson syndrome; Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy ...

Myocellular adaptations to short‐term weighted wheel‐running exercise are largely conserved during C26‐tumour induction in male and female mice

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 3039-3054, 1 June 2026.
Abstract This study investigated whether performing a translatable murine model of concurrent training after tumour induction affects adaptations in juvenile male and female tumour‐bearing mice. Male and female Balb/c mice were injected bilaterally with colon‐26 adenocarcinoma (C26) cells or PBS at 8 weeks of age.

Transcriptomic gene signatures measure satellite cell activity in muscular dystrophies

iScience
Summary: The routine need for myonuclear turnover in skeletal muscle, together with more sporadic demands for hypertrophy and repair, are performed by resident muscle stem cells called satellite cells.

The development of myasthenia gravis in a patient with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: case report and literature review

Neurology International, 2019
The co-existence of facioscapulohumeral muscle dystrophy (FSHD) and myasthenia gravis (MG) is very rare and few cases have been described in the literature.
