Roles of cytokines and T cells in the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2020
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue caused by the presence of autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or the muscle‐specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK). Activated T, B and plasma cells, as well as cytokines,

Roles of GM-CSF in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Diseases: An Update. [PDF]

, 2019
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was first described as a growth factor that induces the differentiation and proliferation of myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow.

Black Holes with Weyl Charge and Non-Riemannian Waves [PDF]

Class.Quant.Grav.12:2587-2605,1995, 1995
A simple modification to Einstein's theory of gravity in terms of a non-Riemannian connection is examined. A new tensor-variational approach yields field equations that possess a covariance similar to the gauge covariance of electromagnetism. These equations are shown to possess solutions analogous to those found in the Einstein-Maxwell system.

Synaptic plasticity and cognitive function are disrupted in the absence of Lrp4. [PDF]

, 2014
Lrp4, the muscle receptor for neuronal Agrin, is expressed in the hippocampus and areas involved in cognition. The function of Lrp4 in the brain, however, is unknown, as Lrp4-/- mice fail to form neuromuscular synapses and die at birth.

Safe use of contrast media in myasthenia gravis: systematic review and updated European Society of Urogenital Radiology Contrast Media Safety Committee guidelines [PDF]

, 2023
Objectives: It is uncertain whether modern iodine-based or gadolinium-based contrast media (CM) administration can lead to increased symptoms in patients with myasthenia gravis. Methods: A systematic search in Medline was conducted for studies describing

Gyroscopic Precession and Inertial Forces in Axially Symmetric Stationary Spacetimes [PDF]

Gen.Rel.Grav. 30 (1998) 593, 1998
We study the phenomenon of gyroscopic precession and the analogues of inertial forces within the framework of general relativity. Covariant connections between the two are established for circular orbits in stationary spacetimes with axial symmetry.

Features of depression development in myasthenia gravis.

Medičnì Perspektivi, 2020
The relative risk of developing depression in myasthenia gravis is 2.14 times higher than in the general population. The features of depression in myasthenia patients remain poorly understood and need to be clarified.
