Renal Biopsy: Use of Biomarkers as a Tool for the Diagnosis of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a glomerulopathy associated with nephrotic syndrome and podocyte injury. FSGS occurs both in children and adults and it is considered the main idiopathic nephrotic syndrome nowadays. It is extremely difficult to establish a morphological diagnosis, since some biopsies lack a considerable quantifiable number ...

Juvenile Paget’s disease with compound heterozygous mutations in TNFRSF11B presenting with recurrent clavicular fractures and a mild skeletal phenotype [PDF]
Juvenile Paget’s disease (JPD) is a rare recessively-inherited bone dysplasia. The great majority of cases described to date have had homozygous mutations in TNFRSF11B, the gene encoding osteoprotegerin.

Hyperactive transforming growth factor-β1 signaling potentiates skeletal defects in a neurofibromatosis type 1 mouse model [PDF]
Dysregulated transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling is associated with a spectrum of osseous defects as seen in Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and Camurati-Engelmann disease.

Although it has long been recognized that inflammation, a consequence of immune‐driven processes, significantly impacts bone turnover, the degree of centralization of skeletal and immune functions has begun to be dissected only recently. It is now recognized that formation of osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells of the body, is centered on the key ...

Mutations in STAT3 and IL12RB1 impair the development of human IL-17–producing T cells [PDF]
The cytokines controlling the development of human interleukin (IL) 17--producing T helper cells in vitro have been difficult to identify. We addressed the question of the development of human IL-17--producing T helper cells in vivo by quantifying the ...
