, 2006 Immunologic self-tolerance is critically dependent on the induction but also on the downregulation of immune responses. Though ignored and neglected for many years, suppressor T cells, now renamed regulatory T cells (Tregs), play an important role in the

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a life‐threatening autoimmune blistering disease with a mortality rate of 70%–90%, driven largely by respiratory complications such as bronchiolitis obliterans. Managing respiratory failure in these patients remains exceptionally difficult.

miRNA- and cytokine-associated extracellular vesicles mediate squamous cell carcinomas
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020 Exosomes, or small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), serve as intercellular messengers with key roles in normal and pathological processes. Our previous work had demonstrated that Dsg2 expression in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells enhanced both sEV ...

Intestinal Barrier Function in Gluten-Related Disorders [PDF]
, 2019 Gluten-related disorders include distinct disease entities, namely celiac disease, wheat-associated allergy and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity. Despite having in common the contact of the gastrointestinal mucosa with components of wheat and other ...

Organoids: From Bench to Bedside Applications
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.Organoids, as a groundbreaking biomedical research platform, utilize adult stem cells (ASCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as sources. By integrating specific growth and differentiation signals within an extracellular matrix (e.g., Matrigel), organoids guide cells to self‐assemble into three‐dimensional ...

Keratins Regulate p38MAPK-Dependent Desmoglein Binding Properties in Pemphigus
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Keratins are crucial for the anchorage of desmosomes. Severe alterations of keratin organization and detachment of filaments from the desmosomal plaque occur in the autoimmune dermatoses pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus (PF), which are mainly ...

Desmoglein autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of pemphigus
Autoimmunity, 2006 The most characteristic feature of pemphigus is a loss of cohesion between keratinocytes, resulting in formation of blisters and erosions on the mucosal membranes and the skin. Identification of circulating antibodies which bind to desmogleins (Dsg), transmembrane proteins involved in assembly of the desmosomes, led to the immediate realization that ...
