Avidity of anti-β2-glycoprotein i antibodies in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome
Antibodies against β2-glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI) are one of the hallmarks of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, they are heterogenic regarding their epitope specificity, pathogenic mechanisms and their avidity. In the current study we present

Proof-of-concept study demonstrating the pathogenicity of affinity-purified IgG antibodies directed to domain I of β2-glycoprotein I in a mouse model of anti-phospholipid antibody-induced thrombosis. [PDF]
IgG aPL against domain I of β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) [anti-DI (aDI)] is associated with the pathogenesis of APS, an autoimmune disease defined by thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity. To date, however, no study has demonstrated direct pathogenicity of IgG

Male genital lichen sclerosus is driven by chronic, occluded exposure of susceptible genital epithelium to urine, rather than infection or autoimmunity. This review synthesizes clinical, anatomical and molecular evidence showing how microincontinence and occlusion initiate inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis, and explains the curative effect of ...

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Thrombembolic events in patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma And anticardiolipin antibodies
Patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) have an increased risk of thromboembolic events. It is important to identify NHL patients at increased risk of developing thromboembolic complications in order to apply prophylactic treatment.

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

The ABCs of antiphospholipid syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thromboinflammatory syndrome characterized by thrombotic, microvascular, obstetric, or non-thrombotic events in the setting of persistent antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), namely anticardiolipin antibody (aCL), anti-

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
