Aire and Fezf2 Shape the Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cell Immunopeptidome for Central Tolerance

Immunology, EarlyView.
Central tolerance is shaped not merely by promiscuous gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), but by the subset of self‐peptides ultimately presented on MHC class II molecules. We propose a multilayered framework in which AIRE/Aire and FEZF2/Fezf2, together with specialised differentiation programmes—including thymic mimetic‐cell ...

Pathophysiology and emerging treatments for dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This review illustrates key proposed mast cell‐mediated activation pathways in dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria, highlighting IgE‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms. These pathways are increasingly targeted by emerging drugs, aiming to interrupt mast cell activation and mediator release, offering more precise, mechanism‐based treatment ...

Advances in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus: Biologicals, small‐molecular agents, and cell‐depleting therapies coming to the clinic

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; lupus) remains a particular challenge for the practicing clinician on account of its chronic undulating and unpredictable course, its diverse manifestations, and—until recently—limited treatment options all associated with considerable downsides.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

The exposure of autoantigens by microparticles underlies the formation of potent inflammatory components: the microparticle‐associated immune complexes

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2012
Immunoglobulins, antigens and complement can assemble to form immune complexes (IC). ICs can be detrimental as they propagate inflammation in autoimmune diseases.

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis—Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis are linked via the two‐hit model whereby early periodontal inflammation can lead to autoantibody production capable of interacting with inflamed synovial tissues. Subsequent systemic inflammation can exacerbate the periodontal inflammatory response and bacterial dysbiosis leading to further autoantibody production

Systemic Disease Associations of Oral Lichenoid Disease: A Retrospective Case–Control Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the association between oral lichen planus (OLP), oral lichenoid lesions (OLL), and other comorbidities. Material and Methods A case–control study of 205 OLP, 96 OLL patients, and 301 age‐ and sex‐matched controls from Kuopio University Hospital was performed.

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...
