What causes muscle fibre necrosis in necrotizing myopathy? The authors of a new study propose that specific autoantibodies contribute to disease via immune-mediated processes; but given that these processes also occur in muscular dystrophies, how likely is that these antibodies trigger muscle fibre necrosis?
