Complement Activation Linked to Type II Interferon Signaling in Still Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by innate immune dysregulation. Although complement can drive inflammation, its involvement in SD remains to be defined. Thus, we aimed to assess complement activation in SD. Methods Complement was assessed using transcriptomic, proteomic, and in vitro approaches. RNA sequencing

Clinical Model‐Informed Precision Dosing Consult Service for Accelerating Personalized Medication in Pediatric Patients

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Traditional dosing strategies often rely on a “one‐size‐fits‐all” paradigm, assuming an “average” patient with typical demographic and pharmacological characteristics. In reality, this often overlooks existing between‐patient variability and can lead to suboptimal drug exposure or toxicity. This issue is especially pronounced in pediatric patients, who
