Neonatal myasthenia gravis
MONDO:0006866A disorder of neuromuscular transmission that occurs in a minority of newborns born to women with myasthenia gravis. Clinical features are usually present at birth or develop in the first 3 days of life and consist of hypotonia and impaired respiratory, suck, and swallowing abilities. This condition is associated with the passive transfer of acetylcholine receptor antibodies through the placenta. In the majority of infants the myasthenic weakness resolves (i.e., transient neonatal myasthenia gravis) although this disorder may rarely continue beyond the neonatal period (i.e., persistent neonatal myasthenia gravis). (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p823; Neurology 1997 Jan;48(1):50-4)

Experimental CAR-T therapy targets tough autoimmune conditions
Disease control PausedThis early-phase study tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy in 9 people with autoimmune diseases that have not responded well to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and attack faulty immune cells. The main goal is to check safety an…
