Musculoskeletal Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Musculoskeletal diseases comprise a broad spectrum of inflammatory, degenerative, and neoplastic disorders. Increasing evidence highlights the central role of immune regulation in their pathogenesis, with complex interactions among immune, bone, muscle, and stromal cells.

Different Lower Limb Muscle MRI Patterns in Autosomal Dominant Titinopathies

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Titin is critical for sarcomere structure and function, and mutations in this gene cause titinopathies, a group of neuromuscular disorders. Muscle MRI is a key tool for diagnosing and understanding these conditions.

Non-GNE Quadriceps Sparing Distal Myopathy in an Iranian Jewish Patient

, 2019
GNE myopathy is an autosomal-recessive distal myopathy. It is caused by a hypomorphic GNE gene, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme in sialic acid synthesis.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 1465-1479, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Myo‐Guide: A Machine Learning‐Based Web Application for Neuromuscular Disease Diagnosis With MRI

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are rare disorders characterized by progressive muscle fibre loss, leading to replacement by fibrotic and fatty tissue, muscle weakness and disability. Early diagnosis is critical for therapeutic decisions, care planning and genetic counselling.

The proteomic profile of hereditary inclusion body myopathy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is an adult onset, slowly progressive distal and proximal myopathy. Although the causing gene, GNE, encodes for a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of sialic acid, its primary function in HIBM remains unknown.

Myotilin gene duplication causing late‐onset myotilinopathy

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Background myotilinopathy is a very rare inherited muscle disease that belongs to the group of myofibrillar myopathies. These diseases share a common alteration of the sarcomere organization at the level of the Z disk resulting in pathological protein aggregation, autophagic abnormalities, and ultimately muscle degeneration.
