Apheresis therapies in MOGAD: a retrospective study of 117 therapeutic interventions in 571 attacks jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/… @NeuroVisionLab
Very nice study comparing sensitivity and specificity of live vs fixed CBA for AQP4 and MOG Ab detection in clinical practice. Live CBA offers a big gain in sensitivity and help not miss real cases with the disease! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ac… @ESotirchos @EoinFlanagan14 @chenmayo
neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX… Proud to share @StefanoMascio91 latest work on PLP1 antibodies in demyelinating diseases. PLP1 abs are mainly found in patients with non MS diseases with combined central and peripheral demyelination, but also in rare seronegative NMOSD
Delighted to share @Lauz_Caccia et al #MOGAD epidemiology study: ➡️ 1st such population-based study in North America ➡️ Prevalence of 3.7/100K in Olmsted County & 2.61/100K in Martinique ➡️Trend towards increased incidence & recognition over time 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

IgG4-RD pachymeningitis often causes headache and cranial nerve problems, is best diagnosed with MRI and biopsy, and frequently relapses despite treatment. ja.ma/4eA5yKX
This is progress. Expert IWG #Alzheimers clinicians recommend against the disease-without-symptoms 'biologically defined' @alzassociation criteria and clarify that treating pathology doesn't necessarily mean treating disease. @nvillain_alz @LonSchneiderMD jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
Stop scrolling!!! 🤚 Terroba-Navajas et al. show that biophysical and functional features of auto-antibodies targeting Caspr2, are associated with distinct clinical syndromes within the spectrum of Caspr2-Ab-associated disorders🧑🔬🔬 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S26…
Great work by Lucia Campetella @luciacamp7 and team lead by Sergio Muniz Castrillo.
You need a break? 🧠Here is the characerization of relapses and identification of factors predicting their occurence for patients with LGI1-Ab autoimmune encephalitis👇 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38603771/ @luciacamp7 @maccuve @Vogrig_Alberto
Very proud of @Ganesha_Li new paper! 1st diagnostic predictive test of a relapsing course in #MOGAD! With @darshi_r @Benjamin_Trewin @RussellCDale @marignierro @MasturaMonif @anneke_vdw, the Australasian #MOGAD group & many others not on X. Check it out: shorturl.at/eqLPW
A seminal preclinical study in @CellCellPress from Harald Prüß' group on a new approach to treat autoimmune encephalitis using CAAR-T cells! 👏sciencedirect.com/science/articl… dzne.de/aktuelles/pres…

1/ 🎉 Excited to share our latest research on Chimeric Autoantibody Receptor (CAAR) T cells targeting NMDA receptor-specific B cells! This could be a game-changer for treating #NMDAR #encephalitis.@CellCellPress authors.elsevier.com/a/1i0edL7PXme0M #CAART #neuroscience #immunotherapy
1/ We are excited to share our report in @JExpMed showing that about 40% of cases of #WestNilevirus (#WNV) encephalitis are due to pre-existing auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs, making WNV encephalitis the best understood human infectious disease (rupress.org/jem/article/22…).
