IBM, Is it an inflammatory disease or am I just getting old? Dr Andrew Mammen

This was a session at The Myositis Association's 2017 Annual Patient Conference in San Diego, led by Dr Andrew Mammen of the National Institutes of Health and the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center. sIBM is a progressive disease that typically affects patients over the age of 50, with signs of both inflammation and degenerative processes in the muscles. This presentation explores evidence supporting both of these disease-causing mechanisms and how that influences research and therapy.
