What a busy but fulfilling week—an #ENMC workshop in the Netherlands followed by Neurology Grand Rounds at the University of Pennsylvania. Grateful for the opportunity to learn, share, and connect with colleagues. #Myositis #Myopathy

I had the pleasure to interview Teerin Liewluck @TLiewluck and Pannathat Soontrapa to discuss monoclonal gammopathies associated myopathies. These myopathies are rare yet treatable. Muscle biopsy reamains a gold standard tool for diagnosis. @AANEMorg open.spotify.com/episode/0y9YGB…

Dear Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship Applicants: Apply to our program! Master EMGs, NM ultrasound, and nerve and muscle biopsy interpretation through clinical rotations, elite didactics, and 3 months of electives. We look forward to interviewing and getting to know you!

I am honored to be invited to speak at the 2026 AOMC #AOMC2026 meeting in Perth. The program looks outstanding and I am looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues from across Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. eecw.eventsair.com/ann-aomc-joint…

If you write a review article, please try to educate the reader rather than vomiting up the literature. Many can summarize the evidence, but few can do so in an informative and didactic way. There are too many reviews out there. Try to make yours unique and meaningful.

Really enjoyed the @RheumatologyUK podcast on inclusion body #myositis - great discussion with @TLiewluck on service setup and pathways for early diagnosis! Link here: open.spotify.com/episode/2tKrcV… #rheumatology

Between 2006–08 swine abattoir workers developed a mysterious disorder linked to inhaled neural tissue. Our study identifies synaptophysin & GAP43 IgGs as the key biomarkers - also found in other non-exposed treatable inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Where do autoantibodies come from in cancer-associated dermatomyositis (CAD)? A new ARD study finds 75% of CAD tumours harbour mutations or LOH in myositis autoantigen genes, generating tumour-specific neoantigens that may lead to DM autoantibodies. doi.org/10.1016/j.ard.…

Rheumatology study of 669 biopsies shows each myositis subtype has its own inflammatory “fingerprint.” IBM has a robust type 1 inflammation signature, while DM, anti-Jo1, anti-PM/Scl, and IMNM show distinct cytokine patterns. #Myositis #RheumTwitter doi.org/10.1093/rheuma…

New in Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol: Granulomatous myositis in sarcoid myopathy shows a stereotypical histopathologic pattern, macrophage-driven immune dysregulation, and CHIT1 as a specific giant-cell marker. #Myositis #Sarcoidosis doi.org/10.1111/nan.70…

Autoantibodies can enter living muscle cells—and in myositis, this internalization may drive disease. A new Autoimmunity Reviews (2025) article from @raphaelakirou highlights emerging mechanisms and therapeutic implications of this paradigm shift. doi.org/10.1016/j.autr…

What a special night yesterday! Prof. Jim Dyck received the 2025 Mayo Clinic Distinguished Clinician Award, and his father, Prof. Peter Dyck, was remembered as one of the Emeritus Staff who left us this year. Very well-deserved recognitions for both.
