Advanced Science, EarlyView.Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a life‐threatening neurological emergency with high rates of death and long‐term disability, but treatments for it are often based on limited evidence. RSE is now understood to involve neuroinflammation, which has led to the exploration of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents like Tocilizumab. Traditional

Autoantibody clusters in rheumatoid arthritis are not driven by antigen specificity or isotype
RMD OpenObjective Autoantibodies are a key feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They can be detected years before disease onset, but it is unknown if there is any pattern in the co-occurrence of antigen recognition or isotype profiles.

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iptacopan is a first‐in‐class, oral, selective inhibitor of complement factor B that has demonstrated positive efficacy across several complement‐driven diseases. Here we evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan monotherapy in adult patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and primary cold agglutinin disease (CAD). We performed

Persisting Transglutaminase 6 Antibodies in Neurological Gluten‐Related Disorders
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Gluten‐related autoimmunity can cause neurological disease, although the best way to diagnose and monitor such patients is unclear. Serological testing for antibodies against transglutaminase 6 (TG6) has been proposed; however, this is not widely available in clinical practice.

Lack of extensive mutations in the VH5 genes used in common B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. [PDF]
, 1993 B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of the CD5+ B cells. Prior studies indicated that CLL B cells generally express immunoglobulin (Ig) VH and VL genes with little or no somatic mutations.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases
Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.
