Abstract
Autoantibodies targeting glutamatergic N-methyl-d-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs) are found in people with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Two studies reveal that patient-derived autoantibodies are diverse in their epitope binding and modes of action on the NMDAR, providing insights into the mechanisms behind autoantibody-induced NMDAR hypofunction.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
