Pembrolizumab‐Induced Myositis: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges From Two Case Reports and a Narrative Review

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pembrolizumab, an anti‐PD‐1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, has transformed the treatment of multiple solid tumors. However, it can rarely cause immune‐related myositis, which may involve limb, bulbar, and respiratory muscles, posing a risk of severe morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and management are essential. We report two

Nuclear Enlargement as a Histological Hallmark of Skeletal Muscle Aging, Revealed by Deep Learning‐Driven Analysis and Validated in Inflammatory Myopathies

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Deep learning–based analysis of human skeletal muscle histology identifies increased nuclear size and altered nuclear number as robust features of aging. These morphometric changes associate with coordinated transcriptional programs and support a scalable, tissue‐level biomarker framework for muscle aging, validated in inflammatory myopathy cohorts ...

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency manifested in an adult treated with prednisone for polymyositis, and cured by live-donor liver transplantation

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency (OMIM#237300) is a rare inherited disorder due to complete or partial lack of the CPS1 enzyme. Polymyositis is a relatively rare systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease.
