Shirley D’Sa: Vitamin B6 Offers a New Clue in the POEMS Syndrome Puzzle
Shirley D’Sa, Professor of Haematology at United KingdomUnited Kingdom, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, adding:
”A long-standing puzzle.
A new piece of the answer.
For decades, the mechanisms underlying nerve damage in POEMS syndrome have remained elusive.
Our newly published study investigates the role of vitamin B6, providing a fresh perspective on the biology of this complex disease.
Science moves forward one step at a time—but occasionally those steps change the direction of travel.
We hope this is one of them.”
