Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...

Risk Prediction of a Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The progression and severity of MS varies by individual, but it is generally a disabling disease. Although medications have been developed to slow the disease progression and help manage symptoms, MS research has yet to result in a cure. Early diagnosis and

Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ natural regulatory T cells in dominant self‐tolerance and autoimmune disease

Immunological Reviews, 2006
Summary:  Naturally arising CD25+CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, most of which are produced by the normal thymus as a functionally mature T‐cell subpopulation, play key roles in the maintenance of immunologic self‐tolerance and negative control of a ...

Going Beyond H&E and Oncology: How Do Histopathology Foundation Models Perform for Multi-stain IHC and Immunology? [PDF]

arXiv
This study evaluates the generalisation capabilities of state-of-the-art histopathology foundation models on out-of-distribution multi-stain autoimmune Immunohistochemistry datasets. We compare 13 feature extractor models, including ImageNet-pretrained networks, and histopathology foundation models trained on both public and proprietary data, on ...

Pregnancy Outcomes of Targeted Synthetic Disease‐Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Among Patients With Autoimmune Diseases: A Scoping Review

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs) have expanded the management of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatic diseases. As the use of these drugs grows, it is important to understand their effects on pregnancy.

Vitamin D sensitivity to the immune responses and autoimmunity: A chemical network model study [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Although Vitamin D is believed to be involved in a large number of immune responses our understanding of these processes at cellular level remained at infancy. We develop and solve a coarse grained kinetic network model to quantify the effects of variation of vitamin D on human immunity. The system of equations accounts for known inter-relation between

Activation of SIRT1 Reduces Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells Fibrosis in Hypoxia Through SIRT1‐FoxO1‐FoxO3‐Autophagy Pathway

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Hypoxia promotes the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells via the SIRT1‐FoxO1‐FoxO3‐autophagy pathway, thereby resulting in the fibrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. Activation of SIRT1 or induction of autophagy inhibits this process, alleviating hypoxia‐induced fibrosis.

Human cytomegalovirus infection triggers a paracrine senescence loop in renal epithelial cells

Communications Biology
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe diseases in immunosuppressed individuals. To replicate its double-stranded DNA genome, HCMV induces profound changes in cellular homeostasis that may resemble senescence.

Tellurium-Doped Bioactive Glass Induces Ferroptosis in Osteosarcoma Cells Regardless of FSP1

Antioxidants
Human osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare tumor predominantly affecting long bones and characterized by a poor prognosis. Currently, the first line of intervention consists of the surgical resection of primary tumors combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy ...
