Early On‐Treatment Change in SALT as a Pragmatic Predictor of Ritlecitinib Response in Moderate‐To‐Severe Alopecia Areata: A Real‐World Cohort Study

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Ritlecitinib induced rapid clinical improvement in moderate‐to‐severe alopecia areata in real‐world practice. Early change in SALT at Week 12 strongly discriminated Week‐24 responders, supporting a pragmatic treat‐to‐target checkpoint, alongside improvements in clinician‐reported and patient‐reported outcomes and a favorable safety profile.

Unmasking the Influence of Viral Micro‐RNAs on Host Immunity

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Viral micro‐RNAs are increasingly recognized as key modulators of host–virus interactions. They influence multiple immune functions, including antigen presentation, T‐cell activation, and cytokine signaling, while also tuning viral gene expression to promote persistence.

Patterns of Drug Resistance, Drug Resistance Conferring Mutations and Genomic DNA Methylation Revealed in Mycobacterium tuberculosis From South Africa

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis remains a major public health threat globally, with drug‐resistant strains undermining treatment efficacy. We analyzed 126 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) isolates with diverse drug resistance spectra and selected 35 for whole genome sequencing (WGS) using Illumina NextSeq, SMRT PacBio Onso and SMRT PacBio Revio ...

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...
