Interaction between extracellular matrix molecules and microbial pathogens: evidence for the missing link in autoimmunity with rheumatoid arthritis as a disease model. [PDF]

, 2014
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation followed by tissue rebuilding or fibrosis. A failure by the body to regulate inflammation effectively is one of the hallmarks of RA.

CD28 between tolerance and autoimmunity: The side effects of animal models [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]

, 2018
Regulation of immune responses is critical for ensuring pathogen clearance and for preventing reaction against self-antigens. Failure or breakdown of immunological tolerance results in autoimmunity.

Autoimmune Hepatitis [PDF]

Current Pediatric Reviews, 2015
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a severe hepatopathy characterised by female preponderance, hypertransaminasaemia, elevated levels of immunoglobulin (IgG), presence of serum autoantibodies and, histologically, by interface hepatitis. AIH occurs both in adults and children, being particularly aggressive in the latter.

Environmental factors associated with juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy clinical and serologic phenotypes

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2022
Background Environmental exposures have been associated with the juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM). We undertook a questionnaire-based study to evaluate patient-reported exposures as possible risk factors for JIIM.
