Alu Overexpression Leads to an Increased Double‐stranded RNA Signature in Dermatomyositis
Objective Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition characterized by a high interferon signature of unknown etiology. Because coding sequences constitute <1.2% of our genomes, there is a need to explore the role of the non‐coding genome in disease pathogenesis.

Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Immunoprofiling of Oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Reveals Different Patterns in Synovial Fluid and Plasma. [PDF]
Using proximity extension assay, we determined the synovial fluid (SF) and plasma immunoprofiles of oligoJIA patients, cross‐sectionally and longitudinally. More disease‐relevant characteristics were revealed in SF than in plasma. The early‐phase enrichment of chemokines in SF suggests that targeting chemokines may offer therapeutic potential for early

Citrullinated vimentin as an important antigen in immune complexes from synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients with antibodies against citrullinated proteins [PDF]
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease, which results in destruction of the joint. The presence of immune complexes (IC) in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients might contribute to this articular damage through different ...

Serum cytokine profiling differentiates underlying diseases in cytokine storm syndrome
Objective Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS), commonly associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is a fatal hyperinflammatory syndrome. Differentiating the underlying diseases responsible for CSS is essential for timely therapeutic decisions. This study explored the clinical usefulness of serum cytokine profiling in distinguishing underlying
