Michael Ombrello։ Decoding How Autoantibodies Cause Disease
Michael Ombrello, Tenure-Track Investigator at National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, shared Teerin Liewluck’s post on LinkedIn:
”Identifying autoantibodies is descriptive.
Identifying a new mechanism through which autoantibodies cause disease in an epitope-specific manner is revolutionary.
Congratulations to Iago Pinal-Fernandez, Andrew Mammen and colleagues!”
Teerin Liewluck, Professor of Neurology at Mayo Clinic Rochester, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, adding:
”Hot Off the Press:
Excited to be part of this outstanding collaborative work led by Iago Pinal-Fernandez and Andrew Mammen.
This paper provides important insights into one of the central questions in myositis:
How do myositis autoantibodies reach their target antigens and drive disease?
Congratulations to everyone involved in this exciting work!!!”
Title: Spatial transcriptomics reveals mechanism of autoimmunity driven by internalised autoantibodies
