Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

HMG-Coenzyme A Reductase as a Drug Target for the Prevention of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Statins are an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR). Growing evidence indicates that statins may have an anti-inflammatory effect.

In Situ Genetic Engineering Facilitates MMP‐9‐Responsive TIMP1 Release Through Proteolytic Cleavage to Boost Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops an MMP‐9‐responsive protein release system that transforms resident cells into drug depots through in situ genetic engineering. Anchored to the membrane, the therapeutic protein TIMP1 is selectively released upon MMP‐9 cleavage.

Upadacitinib Restrains the Pathogenic Fitness of CD4+ T Cells and Aberrant B Cell Programming in Optic Neuritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell profiling and functional perturbation reveal coordinated JAK1‐pSTAT3 downstream programs in optic neuritis, including MCL1‐dependent fitness of pathogenic CD4+ Tem cells and glycolysis‐linked, cholesterol‐sensitive B‐cell responses associated with RORA. Upadacitinib disrupts this reciprocal T‐B‐cell circuit and alleviates neuroinflammation,

High‐Resolution Deep Learning Dixon Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Sacroiliac Joints Is Noninferior to Standard Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Suspected Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To compare the multisequence standard magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) protocol of the sacroiliac joints with a single high‐resolution deep learning–reconstructed Dixon sequence (DL‐Dixon) in patients with suspected axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Seventy‐six patients with chronic low back pain and suspected axSpA underwent clinical,

Determinants of Difficult‐to‐Manage and Treatment‐Refractory Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis Within a Longitudinal Cohort

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of difficult‐to‐manage (D2M) and treatment‐refractory (TR) axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and to identify factors associated with D2M and TR disease in a longitudinal cohort. Methods We performed a cross‐sectional analysis on data from the Schroeder Arthritis Institute Spondylitis ...

Relationship Between Ankylosing Spondylitis and Cerebrovascular Disorders: A Systematic Review

Eurasian Journal of Medicine
Cerebrovascular events are linked to ankylosing spondylitis. Accelerated atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction against a backdrop of inflammation have been widely blamed for the increased cerebrovascular risk in ankylosing spondylitis.

T cells, the Next Big Target in Axial Spondyloarthritis?

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by complex immune dysregulation, with T cells playing a central role in its pathogenesis. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on diverse T cell subsets in axSpA, their pathogenic mechanisms, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these cells. We highlight

Deep Immunophenotyping Reveals Distinct Immune Signatures in Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are overlapping yet distinct conditions within the SpA spectrum. As divergent immunophenotypes may influence disease course and therapeutic response, we compared immune cell subsets, cytokine profiles, and inflammatory mediators.
