Objective A phase 2 trial tested different doses of the anti‐CD40 monoclonal antibody BI 655064 as an add‐on therapy to the standard of care in patients with class III or IV lupus nephritis (LN) with active disease. A post hoc analysis showed a potential benefit of the higher tested doses (180 and 240 mg) versus a low dose (120 mg) or placebo.

Objective Scleroderma is a life‐threatening autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in scleroderma skin and experimentally induced dermal fibrosis to determine its potential role and therapeutic implications.

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of prophylactic trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole (TMP‐SMX) on the incidence of serious infections in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods This multicenter cohort study was designed to emulate a target trial that studied 296 patients with ...

Background Podocytes are integral to the maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier. Their injury results in proteinuria and disease progression in lupus nephritis (LN). Aberrant IgG glycosylation drives podocyte injury in LN and leads to cytoskeletal rearrangement, motility changes and decreased nephrin production.

Objective The presence of anti‐nuclear antibodies (ANAs) is characteristic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibody dynamics over time are thought to reflect the cellular source of ANAs and their therapeutic targetability. Anti‐dsDNA is the most prevalent and well‐studied of all ANAs, and fluctuations in anti‐dsDNA serum levels are associated ...

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,
