DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroim.2017.12.015
Abstract: Abstract Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease with autoimmune etiology. The main pathomechanism is related to the production of antibodies against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) located in the postsynaptic membrane. The present study is set… read more here.
