Insights Into the Antigenic Repertoire of Unclassified Synaptic Antibodies
ABSTRACT Objective We sought to characterize the sixth most common finding in our neuroimmunological laboratory practice (tissue assay‐observed unclassified neural antibodies [UNAs]), combining protein microarray and phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP‐Seq). Methods Patient specimens (258; 133 serums; 125 CSF) meeting UNA criteria were profiled;

Objective Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare childhood inflammatory myopathy, whereas spondyloarthritis (SpA) is an inflammatory arthropathy characterized by enthesitis and peripheral or axial involvement. We describe a series of patients diagnosed with JDM in childhood who later fulfilled classification criteria for SpA, a sequential phenotype ...

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), one of the major subtypes of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, exhibits considerable clinical heterogeneity. The condition’s etiology is autoimmune, yet myopathology reveals prominent muscle fiber necrosis and

Cutaneous involvement in anti-HMGCR positive necrotizing myopathy.
OBJECTIVE Anti-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) positive immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare disease. It is induced by exogenous substances, most often by statins. Little is known about cutaneous manifestations

Engineering Immune Cell to Counteract Aging and Aging‐Associated Diseases
This review highlights a paradigm shift in which advanced immune cell therapies, initially developed for cancer, are now being harnessed to combat aging. By engineering immune cells to selectively clear senescent cells and remodel pro‐inflammatory tissue microenvironments, these strategies offer a novel and powerful approach to delay age‐related ...

Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: A Review for Clinicians
Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a group of inflammatory myopathies showing necrotic and regenerating fibers without noteworthy inflammatory cell infiltration on pathology. The pathologic findings are different from those of dermatomyositis or sporadic inclusion body myositis.

Challenges in Treating Statin-Associated Necrotizing Myopathy
Myalgia and mild elevation in muscle enzymes are common side effects of statin therapy. While these symptoms are generally self-limited, in rare cases, statin use is associated with an immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy caused by development of ...

Dermatomyositis Like Presentation of Anti‐HMGCR Immune Mediated Necrotising Myopathy
Capsule summary Cutaneous manifestations of HMGCR‐IMNM are rare and poorly described. Dermatomyositis‐like rash manifestation can be a presentation of the HMGCR‐IMNM. We report a case with a dermatomyositis‐like presentation and provide a literature review on this topic.

No General Association Between Myositis Antibodies and Electromyography Findings
ABSTRACT Objective Myositis‐specific antibodies (MSAs), myositis‐associated antibodies (MAAs), and concentric needle electromyography (EMG) are routinely used in the differential diagnosis of myositis. Their mutual relationship, particularly between MSAs/MAAs and EMG findings, remains unclear.

Statin-induced necrotizing myositis is increasingly being recognised as part of the "statin-induced myopathy spectrum". As in other immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies, statin-induced myositis is characterised by proximal muscle weakness with marked ...
