Association of Synovial Innate Immune Exhaustion With Worse Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective Uncontrolled pain remains a major clinical challenge in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), the most common disabling joint disease. Worse pain is associated with synovial innate immune cell infiltration (synovitis), but the role of innate immune‐regulatory cells in pain is unknown. Our objective was to identify synovial innate immune

Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored and transmembrane forms of CD46 display similar measles virus receptor properties: virus binding, fusion, and replication; down-regulation by hemagglutinin; and virus uptake and endocytosis for antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class II molecules [PDF]

Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)–associated anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) target various antigens by binding short citrulline amino acid motifs, resulting in heterogeneous ACPA profiles among patients. Here we analyzed ACPA patterns by recognized citrulline motifs in relation to the RA risk factors HLA‐DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles

Abstract A high‐quality reference genome can be a valuable resource for threatened species by providing a foundation to assess their evolutionary potential to adapt to future pressures such as environmental change. We assembled the genome of a female hihi (Notiomysits cincta), a threatened passerine bird endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand.

Indirect presentation of mismatched human leukocyte antigen-B associates with outcomes of cord blood transplantation. [PDF]
This study analysed 1498 single‐unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) cases (2000–2018) to evaluate the impact of mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) immunogenicity. Results highlighted that Class I epitopes from recipient‐mismatched HLA‐B were associated with higher transplantation‐related mortality (TRM) and lower neutrophil engraftment ...

Mucosal‐associated invariant T cells in rheumatic diseases.
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and restriction by the MHC class I‐related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines. Upon activation, MAIT cells rapidly produce pro‐inflammatory cytokines,
