Acquired cutis laxa associated with light and heavy chain deposition disease
Acquired cutis laxa (ACL) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by pendulous and coarsely wrinkled skin. There have been few cases of its association to monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD), which constitutes the light chain ...

Progress in spondylarthritis immunopathogenesis of spondyloarthritis: which cells drive disease? [PDF]
Spondyloarthritides, or SpA, form a cluster of chronic inflammatory diseases with the axial skeleton as the most typical disease localisation, although extra-articular manifestations such as intestinal inflammation may frequently occur during the course ...
