Understanding and addressing resistance to IMiDs immunomodulatory compounds in multiple myeloma
IMiDs are pivotal in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Mechanisms of resistance comprise cell intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, involving tumour microenvironment, immune cell dysfunction, CRBN‐dependent and independent genetic drivers and epigenetic changes.

Cerebrospinal fluid orexin testing in Australians with narcolepsy type 1
Abstract A clinical diagnosis of narcolepsy type 1 can be challenging, particularly in relation to cataplexy. Despite its specificity, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) orexin testing is under‐utilised in Australasia. We describe the use of CSF orexin testing in 15 clinically indicated patients from two sleep centres, highlighting its utility in the ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
