In persons with CIDP, auto-HSCT can be conducted fully on an outpatient basis and induces significant clinical responses: A prospective study in a single center
CONCLUSION: aHSCT conducted fully in an outpatient basis, employing the conditioning regimen of the "Mexican method" appears to be a feasible therapeutic option for persons with CIDP. Additional studies are needed to confirm these observations.PMID:37866669 | DOI:10.1016/j.trim.2023.101944 (Source: Transplant Immunology)

Nerve transcriptomes in autoimmune and genetic demyelinating neuropathies: Pathogenic pathway assessment of nerve demyelination
The pathogenesis of autoimmune demyelinating neuropathies is poorly understood compared to inherited demyelinating forms. We performed whole transcriptome (RNA-Seq) using nerve biopsy tissues of patients with different autoimmune and inherited demyelinating neuropathies (CIDP n  = 10, POEMS n = 18, DADS n = 3, CMT1 n = 3) versus healthy controls (n = 6). A limited number of differentially expressed genes compared to healthy controls were identified (POEMS = 125, DADS = 15, CMT = 14, CIDP = 5). Divergent pathogenic pathways including infl ammatory, demyelinating and neurite regeneration s...

Combined central and peripheral demyelination - one-year follow-up of patient with co-incidence of multiple sclerosis and multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy - A Case Report
We report on the 37-year-old patient with a coincidence of demyelinating lesions in the brain fulfilling current McDonald's diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis, as well as the presence of an atypical variant of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) - multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory-motor neuropathy (MADSAM), as a subtype of combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD).PMID:37776551 (Source: Neuroendocrinology Letters)
