Probiotic-derived extracellular vesicles: the next breakthrough in postbiotics for rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and joint damage. Emerging evidence highlights the role of gut and oral microbiota in RA pathogenesis, with microbial dysbiosis potentially exacerbating ...

A Multi‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study of Neurosarcoidosis Myelitis: Current Observations and Future Directions

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The optimal treatment for neurosarcoidosis myelitis is uncertain. We characterize incident neurosarcoidosis myelitis and assess treatment response by MRI and clinical scales. Methods Incident probable or definite neurosarcoidosis myelitis in adults was retrospectively identified from 13 academic medical centers.

The potential roles of herpesvirus and cytomegalovirus in the exacerbation of pemphigus vulgaris

open access: yesDermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2018
Background: Among exogenous etiologies, the critical role of microbial agents such as herpesviruses (HSV1/2) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in triggering and flaring autoimmune conditions such as pemphigus vulgaris (PV) has been recently discovered ...

CTLA-4: a negative regulator of autoimmune disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
CTLA-4, a CD28 homologue expressed on activated T cells, binds with high affinity to the CD28 ligands, B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86). This study was designed to examine the role of CTLA-4 in regulating autoimmune disease.

Systemic T Cell Receptor Profiling Reveals Adaptive Immune Activation and Potential Immune Signatures of Diagnosis and Brain Atrophy in Epilepsy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Epilepsy is increasingly associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation. The T cell receptor (TCR), a key mediator of adaptive immunity, shows repertoire alterations in various immune‐mediated diseases. The unique TCR sequence serves as a molecular barcode for T cells, and clonal expansion accompanied by reduced overall TCR ...

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.
