Evolving treatments for Sjögren disease: current approaches and emerging targets
Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Sjögren disease (SjD) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune condition characterised by exocrine gland dysfunction, systemic inflammation and heterogeneous organ involvement. Current management remains largely symptomatic, with no approved disease‐modifying therapies available and substantial unmet clinical need. However, advances in understanding

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

Antigen specificity can be irrelevant to immunocytokine efficacy and biodistribution [PDF]
, 2014 Cytokine therapy can activate potent, sustained antitumor responses, but collateral toxicity often limits dosages. Although antibody–cytokine fusions (immunocytokines) have been designed with the intent to localize cytokine activity, systemic dose ...

The role of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses a spectrum of chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, with a potential bidirectional relationship with periodontitis. Neutrophils are key regulators of immune‐inflammatory responses and play a major role in both diseases.
