Anti‐Carbamylated Protein Antibodies Stabilize Carbamylated Histone H3 to Promote Synovial Activation and Neutrophil Extracellular Trap‐Mediated Bone Loss in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Volume 78, Issue 10, Page 2074-2081, October 2026.
Objective Carbamylation, a nonenzymatic post‐translational modification, contributes to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP) occur in around 50% of patients with RA and associate with greater joint damage. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are a major source of carbamylated autoantigens. We sought

Evidence of membranolytic targeting and intracellular citrullination in neutrophils isolated from patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Scientific Reports
Anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) are diagnostic for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The antigens recognized by these autoantibodies are produced by protein arginine deiminases (PADs), particularly PAD4.

Investigating PAD-mediated citrullination in HPV-driven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Citrullination is a post-translational modification catalyzed by peptidyl-arginine deiminases (PADs), which convert peptidyl-arginine into peptidyl-citrulline.

Immune cells in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm: Roles, regulation and targeted interventions

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of how macrophages, neutrophils, T cells and other immune cells infiltrate the aortic wall, undergo phenotypic shifts and interact with one another in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a lethal degenerative vascular disease with no approved clinical drugs. Immune

Breast Cancer‐Derived AZU1 Educates Neutrophils to Promote Tumor Progression and Metastasis Through PAD4‐Dependent Extracellular Trap Formation

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 1281-1296, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play crucial roles in cancer progression, but their regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer remain poorly understood. We developed a NETs‐related prognostic risk model using TCGA breast cancer data and identified key biomarkers through bioinformatics analysis.

Evasins: Biology and Therapeutic Potential of Broad‐Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitors

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Ticks are haematophagous parasites that rely on uninterrupted bloodmeals for survival and need an effective strategy to suppress the host inflammatory response. Leukocyte recruitment is a chemokine‐mediated hallmark of inflammation, which ticks counteract via anti‐chemokine proteins in their saliva named evasins.

Tolerogenic citrullinated peptide for arthritis

Oncotarget, 2015
Disease-specific autoantibodies directed against post-translation citrullinated proteins/peptides (ACPAs) are specific serological markers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have been accepted as one of the classification criteria for the disease. Beyond diagnosis these autoantibodies have also been shown also to predict disease severity.

Discovery of Post‐Translationally Modified Epitopes in Autoimmunity: Someone Has to Fish so Everyone Can Eat

Immunological Reviews, Volume 343, Issue 1, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) chemically diversify the ~20,000 genomically encoded proteins into millions of functional variants, and this diversity has profound consequences for T cell‐mediated immune responses. PTM‐reactive T cells have been identified across numerous autoimmune diseases and, in several cases, implicated directly ...
