Review: Therapeutic advances and future prospects in immune-mediated inflammatory myopathies
The inflammatory myopathies include three distinct entities: polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), and inclusion body myositis (IBM). A T-cell-mediated cytotoxic process in PM and IBM and a complement-mediated microangiopathy in DM are the hallmarks of the underlying autoimmune processes. The mos...
