Plasma Elastase Screening in Hematological Disease Reveals Its Potential as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Hematological Malignancies

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neutrophil‐extracellular traps are net‐like material released by triggered neutrophils and composed of decondensed chromatin linked to nuclear proteins. Elastase, one of the fourth most represented neutrophil‐specific serine proteases stored in azurophil granules of naïve neutrophils, exerts various actions, including degradation ...

Targeting alarmins to accelerate healing

, 2017
Promoting tissue repair in adults represents a major unmet medical need. Tissue regeneration relies on the activation of quiescent endogenous stem cells and whilst considerable progress has been made, novel therapies based on stem cells have thus far ...

OX40/OX40L modulation: A target for regulating T cells in cutaneous inflammatory disorders

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
OX40 and OX40L are a co‐stimulatory immune checkpoint pair. Modulation of this pair impacts multiple immune phenotypes and is an attractive target for immunotherapy in dermatological disorders. Trials are underway with the majority in atopic dermatitis and currently in phase 3 trials.

Peri‐Implantitis and Periodontitis: Biological Convergence, Contextual Divergence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontal and peri‐implant tissues differ and coincide in many aspects, from the clinical and radiological perspective, including histology, microbiology, and molecular markers. Thus, health and disease may also follow different and similar routes.

Promoting immune defensive responses of epithelial cells in airway disease

Frontiers in Allergy
The airway epithelium serves as both a physical barrier and as an active contributor in maintaining immune defense. Upon exposure to external insults such as injury and infection, the epithelium releases alarmins including interleukin-25 (IL-25), IL-33 ...

A New Stage and Classification of Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head Based on MRI With Pathophysiological Interpretation

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
An MRI‐based classification system integrating fibrosis extent (F1–F3) and inflammatory bone marrow edema activity (E0–E3) was developed for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Increasing fibrosis and edema severity were associated with higher collapse risk, worse pain, and poorer hip function.

The role of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses a spectrum of chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, with a potential bidirectional relationship with periodontitis. Neutrophils are key regulators of immune‐inflammatory responses and play a major role in both diseases.

Eosinophil–Epithelial Cell Crosstalk at Mucosal Barriers: From Homeostatic Regulation to Disease Pathogenesis

Cells
Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that reside constitutively within mucosal tissues, where they engage in bidirectional communication with the epithelial cells lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts.

Identification of epithelial alarmins that promote activation of primary human lung fibroblasts [PDF]

, 2013
PhD ThesisBackground Activation of the innate immune system plays a key role in exacerbations of chronic lung disease, yet the role of fibroblasts in innate immune responses and the identity of danger signals (alarmins) that may contribute to their ...
