Overlap of Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis: A Case of Reynolds Syndrome

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Reynolds Syndrome should be suspected in CREST patients with persistent cholestatic liver enzymes, since delayed diagnosis allows portal hypertension and variceal bleeding to develop. Early anti‐mitochondrial antibody screening and prompt ursodeoxycholic acid therapy improve outcomes, and these patients need multidisciplinary follow‐up for ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are dynamic regulators of tissue homeostasis and disease remodeling. In the healthy state, LECs coordinate interstitial fluid drainage, intestinal lipid transport, and immune trafficking and tolerance. Across disease settings, however, these same programs become maladaptively reprogrammed, contributing to barrier ...

Pathogenesis and Phenotypes of Pulmonary Vascular Disease in COPD: A Consensus Statement From the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute's Innovative Drug Development Initiative – PH Group 3 Workstream

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently associated with pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) yet pulmonary vascular involvement remains underrecognized and incompletely phenotyped. Emerging evidence demonstrates that pulmonary vasculopathy may precede overt emphysema and airflow obstruction, suggesting that vascular remodeling ...
