Buccal Mucosa as Substrate for Direct Immunofluorescence Should Be Included Early in the Diagnostic Work Up of Ocular Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid

JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 597-601, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) direct immunofluorescence (DIF) represents the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. However, up to 50% of ocular MMP cases do not meet the immunopathological criteria. In addition, the risk of exacerbating conjunctival cicatrization makes ocular biopsy technically difficult to obtain ...

Triggers of Autoimmunity: The Role of Bacterial Infections in the Extracellular Exposure of Lupus Nuclear Autoantigens

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Infections are considered important environmental triggers of autoimmunity and can contribute to autoimmune disease onset and severity. Nucleic acids and the complexes that they form with proteins—including chromatin and ribonucleoproteins—are the main ...

Forsythiaside A Alleviates Kidney Injury and Intestinal Epithelium Dysfunction in IgA Nephropathy by Inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.

Autophagy and rheumatoid arthritis: Current knowledges and future perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
Autophagy is a degradation mechanism by which cells recycle cytoplasmic components to generate energy. By influencing lymphocyte development, survival, and proliferation, autophagy regulates the immune responses against self and non-self antigens ...

The Airway Epithelial Barrier in Childhood Asthma: A Central Player in Glucocorticoid Therapy, Resistance, and Severe Asthma

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Childhood asthma remains a global public health challenge with suboptimal control, despite the availability of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as first‐line therapy. Glucocorticoids suppress inflammation and protect the airway epithelial barrier (AEB) via genomic and nongenomic pathways.

A Spectrum of Neural Autoantigens, Newly Identified by Histo-Immunoprecipitation, Mass Spectrometry, and Recombinant Cell-Based Indirect Immunofluorescence

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
BackgroundA plurality of neurological syndromes is associated with autoantibodies against neural antigens relevant for diagnosis and therapy. Identification of these antigens is crucial to understand the pathogenesis and to develop specific immunoassays.

Novel prokaryotic expression of thioredoxin-fused insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2), its characterization and immunodiagnostic application [PDF]

, 2016
Background The insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2) is one of the immunodominant autoantigens involved in the autoimmune attack to the beta-cell in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...
