Rheumatologic Manifestations of Patients With Type B Insulin Resistance

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objectives of this study were to identify laboratory and clinical features associated with type B insulin resistance (TBIR), a rare condition caused by autoantibodies that inhibit the insulin receptor, most frequently occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to increase awareness of this rare, life‐threatening ...

CC-chemokine ligand 18, CXC motif chemokine 13 and osteopontin as biomarkers of silicosis and asbestosis: a prospective observational study

Scientific Reports
Background Silicosis and asbestosis, distinct forms of pneumoconiosis, manifest progressive interstitial fibrosis due to exposure to silica dust or asbestos fibers. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing silicosis and asbestosis,

Quantitative CT analysis in patients with pulmonary emphysema: is lung function influenced by concomitant unspecific pulmonary fibrosis? [PDF]

, 2019
Purpose: Quantitative analysis of CT scans has proven to be a reproducible technique, which might help to understand the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Differential redox state contributes to sex disparities in the response to influenza virus infection in male and female mice [PDF]

, 2018
Influenza virus replicates intracellularly exploiting several pathways involved in the regulation of host responses. The outcome and the severity of the infection are thus strongly conditioned by multiple host factors, including age, sex, metabolic ...

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Targeting fused in sarcoma (FUS): a novel antisense strategy for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a highly conserved RNA-binding protein with essential roles in RNA processing and genomic stability. While extensively studied in the context of neurodegeneration, its involvement in fibrotic diseases, particularly idiopathic ...

A mammalian Wnt5a-Ror2-Vangl2 axis controls the cytoskeleton and confers cellular properties required for alveologenesis. [PDF]

, 2020
Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary
