A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lichen sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that primarily affects the genitalia. Growing evidence supports chronic occlusive urine exposure as the principal pathogenic driver, though other mechanisms, including mechanical irritation, hormonal influences, autoimmunity, and infection, have been proposed.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
