Mucosal‐associated invariant T cells in rheumatic diseases.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
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,

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Summary Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for Rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.
