Potential common molecular mechanisms between Sj ögren syndrome and inclusion body myositis: a bioinformatic analysis and in vivo validation
ConclusionOur study identified that IBM shares common immunologic and transcriptional pathways with SS, such as viral infection and antigen processing/presentation. Furthermore, both IBM and SS have almost identical immune infiltration microenvironments, indicating similar immune responses may contribute to their association. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)
