Abstract

Myasthenia gravis is a prototypical antibody-mediated autoimmune neuromuscular disorder. Treatments have improved over the past 30 years, leading to significantly fewer deaths and better quality of life. Future research should further elucidate its pathogenesis, reveal better ways to diagnose it, and yield new treatments.
