1. MuSK Antibody(+) Versus AChR Antibody(+) Myasthenia Gravis : Clinical, Neurophysiological and Morphological Aspects
Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes fluctuating muscle weakness. MG may be divided into an ocular form and a generalized form based on the involved muscles. Treatment differs between these different MG forms. READ MORE

2. Environmental Factors of Importance in Myasthenia Gravis : Emphasis on Physical Activity
Abstract : Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies directed against proteins at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The disturbed neuromuscular transmission induces fatigable weakness in skeletal muscles. READ MORE

3. New Biomarkers for Neuromuscular Function and Myasthenia Gravis
Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder, which is caused by autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). The cardinal symptom is muscle fatigue, which can range from slight weakness of the extraocular muscles (causing droopy eyelids or double vision), to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. READ MORE

4. Immunoregulation in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis
Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) derives its name from Latin and Greek words meaning, "grave muscle weakness". MG is a classical T cell dependent antibody-mediated autoimmune disease. READ MORE

5. Studies of immune mechanisms in myasthenia gravis
Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) has been considered the prototype of autoantibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. The pathogenic autoantibodies are directed against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Several mechanisms by which these antibodies (AChR Ab) disturb the function of the receptor have been elucidated. READ MORE
