Additionally, gene therapy targeting the estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) has shown promise in promoting therapeutic angiogenesis and muscle recovery in preclinical models of peripheral arterial disease (ref: Sopariwala doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.122.028880/). The identification of chlorhexidine as a pro-myogenic circadian clock activator further emphasizes the potential of circadian biology in muscle regeneration, as it promotes myogenesis through clock modulation (ref: Kiperman doi.org/10.1186/s13287-023-03424-2/). Collectively, these studies underscore the importance of targeting molecular pathways and utilizing innovative therapies to enhance muscle health and combat myopathies.

Moreover, the validation of ultrasonography against computed tomography for assessing muscle mass loss in critically ill patients highlights the importance of accurate diagnostic tools in managing myopathies (ref: Peres doi.org/10.1186/s13054-023-04596-2/). The findings from these studies emphasize the need for continued research into the genetic underpinnings of myopathies and the development of targeted therapies that can improve patient outcomes. Additionally, the investigation of healthcare costs associated with musculoskeletal complaints reveals the economic burden of these conditions, underscoring the necessity for effective management strategies (ref: Pellekooren doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000003028/).

Additionally, the expanding clinical spectrum of RMND1-related disorders emphasizes the variability in disease presentation and the limitations of phenotype-based classifications (ref: Rioux doi.org/10.1007/s00109-023-02356-x/). The role of autophagy in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy has been elucidated, linking mutations to the regulation of autophagosome biogenesis, which may inform future therapeutic approaches (ref: Ishtayeh doi.org/10.1111/acel.13949/). Furthermore, the genetic insights into polymyalgia rheumatica suggest that IL-1 receptor antagonism could be a potential therapeutic target, supported by genetic data predicting clinical trial success (ref: Zhao doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/). These findings collectively underscore the importance of understanding clinical outcomes and developing targeted management strategies for myopathies.

Moreover, the exploration of potential biomarkers for immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies has revealed significant differences in macrophage populations among patients, indicating that immune profiling could aid in the stratification of disease subtypes (ref: Cappelletti doi.org/10.1002/eji.202250326/). Tofacitinib therapy has shown promise in treating refractory inflammatory myositis, demonstrating significant improvement in cutaneous manifestations, although muscle strength improvements were minimal (ref: Beckett doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/). These findings highlight the need for tailored therapeutic approaches that address both cutaneous and muscular symptoms in inflammatory myopathies.

Additionally, the long-term consequences of Cushing syndrome have been reviewed, revealing a range of comorbidities including musculoskeletal alterations and cognitive impairments, with the degree of normalization post-remission remaining uncertain (ref: Puglisi doi.org/10.1210/clinem/). The impact of tumor growth on cardiac function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy models suggests that tumor presence may ameliorate cardiac dysfunction, providing insights into potential therapeutic avenues (ref: Achlaug doi.org/10.3390/ijms241612595/). These findings highlight the complex interplay between neuromuscular disorders and their comorbidities, emphasizing the need for comprehensive management strategies.

Furthermore, the comparison of muscle involvement in oculopharyngodistal myopathy versus oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy has provided valuable insights into the progression of these conditions, aiding in the development of diagnostic criteria (ref: Eura doi.org/10.1007/s00415-023-11906-9/). Integrated multi-omics analyses have also identified metabolic disarrangements in inclusion body myositis, with specific biomarkers showing high sensitivity and specificity, which could facilitate early diagnosis and intervention (ref: Cantó-Santos doi.org/10.3390/antiox12081639/). Collectively, these studies highlight the critical role of advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques in the effective management of myopathies.
