J Cell Physiol . 2024 Oct; 240(1):e31458. PMID: 39382090
The overexpression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I on the surface of muscle fibers is a characteristic hallmark of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), collectively termed myositis. Alongside MHC-I overexpression,...

Drug Saf . 2024 Mar; 47(7):643-653. PMID: 38492173
Statins represent the primary therapy for combatting hypercholesterolemia and reducing mortality from cardiovascular events. Despite their pleiotropic effects in lowering cholesterol synthesis, circulating cholesterol, as well as reducing the risk...

Thoma A, Earl K, Goljanek-Whysall K, Lightfoot A
J Cell Mol Med . 2022 Nov; 26(24):6032-6041. PMID: 36426551
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I is an important component of intracellular antigen presentation. However, improper expression of MHC I upon the cell surface has been associated with several autoimmune diseases....

J Clin Med . 2020 Oct; 9(10). PMID: 33050427
Background: In many neurodegenerative and muscular disorders, and loss of innervation in sarcopenia, improper reinnervation of muscle and dysfunction of the motor unit (MU) are key pathogenic features. studies of...

Antioxidants (Basel) . 2020 Aug; 9(8). PMID: 32764412
Maladaptive endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with modified reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial abnormalities; and is postulated as a potential mechanism involved in muscle weakness in myositis,...

BMC Rheumatol . 2020 Jun; 4:25. PMID: 32529172
Background: The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are heterogeneous autoimmune conditions of skeletal muscle inflammation and weakness. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA which regulate gene expression of target mRNAs. The...
