      Inclusion body myositis (IBM), the most common age-related muscle disease in the elderly population, is an incurable disorder leading to severe disability. Sporadic IBM has an unknown etiology, although affected muscle fibers are characterized by many of the pathobio-chemical alterations traditionally associated with neurodegenerative

      thy, inclusion-body myositis (IBM), also isn’t life-threatening. What causes inflammatory myopathies? In most cases, the cause of an inflam-matory myopathy is unclear. For some reason, the body’s immune system turns against its own muscles and dam-ages muscle tissue in an autoimmune response. Viruses might be a trigger for autoimmune myositis.

      Inclusion Body Myositis What is inclusion body myositis? Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a disease of muscle, which causes muscles to become thin and weak. It was recognised as a disease in its own right in the 1960’s. It usually occurs in middle to late life and is more common in men than women.

      muscle disorder like inclusion-body myositis (IBM). IBM is a slowly progressive muscle dis-ease causing weakness in certain limb muscles. Scientists think that the IBM weakness is caused by a specific kind of aging-related degeneration within muscle fibers and perhaps also by autoim-mune factors. Some doctors believe there may be

      Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an acquired muscle disease with a slowly progressive course, culminating in severe disability.1 IBM is catego-rised as an inflammatory myopathy and shares histopathological features with polymyositis (PM), but immunosuppression does not modify progres-sion.2 IBM is often diagnosed late and is commonly

      Sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM), the most common muscle disease of older persons, is of unknown cause, and there is no enduring treatment. Abnormal accumulation of intracellular multi-protein inclusions is a characteristic feature of the s-IBM phenotype, and as such s-IBM can be considered a “conformational disorder,” caused by protein
