The Role of IgM Anti‐acetylated Protein Antibodies and B Cells in the Origin of Antimodified Protein Autoimmunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), including anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated protein antibodies (AAPA). In contrast to other AMPAs, AAPA IgM is found in healthy individuals, raising questions about its role ...

CASTOR1 regulates humoral immune responses and contributes to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives CASTOR1 senses arginine and regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), a central metabolic signaling molecule. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of CASTOR1 in humoral immune responses. Methods We analyzed human B cell transcriptomes from healthy controls and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) via ...

Histories in bone: Navigating the ethical landscape of human skeletal collections in South Africa

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Provenance is at the center of addressing the complicated ethical stewardship of legacy human skeletal collections. Many South African (SA) health science institutions have skeletal collections. While the history of the collections and the demographics of the skeletons have been reported, the provenance of the individuals within the ...

Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.

Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (
