IgG Subclass (IgG1‐4) and IgA Autoantibody Profiles Against Muscle‐Specific Kinase in a Greek Cohort

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Muscle‐specific kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK‐MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder predominantly mediated by IgG4 autoantibodies disrupting MuSK signaling. The contribution of other isotypes remains incompletely defined. We characterized the serological profile of a Greek cohort of MuSK‐MG patients.

Optimization of the Cell‐Based Assay Methodology to Study Degradation of Acetylcholine Receptors (Antigenic Modulation) by Antibodies From Myasthenia Gravis Patients

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Degradation of cell‐surface acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) by antigenic modulation is a key pathogenic mechanism of myasthenia gravis (MG) autoantibodies, yet standard assays primarily detect antibody binding rather than functional effects.

Patient Communication Outside of Visits: Implications for Remote Monitoring and Digital Care Models in Myasthenia Gravis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disorder requiring individualized, specialized treatment, yet access to specialized care is limited and documentation fragmented. Several remote monitoring tools have emerged to address this gap, yet their integration into clinical care remains challenging.
