This review highlights how autoimmune diseases arise from intertwined immunological, genetic, and environmental factors, emphasizing gut microbiota dysbiosis as a pivotal driver. It outlines emerging nanotechnology‐based strategies—such as liposomes, hydrogels, and polymeric nanoparticles—that enhance targeted drug delivery, minimize systemic toxicity,

Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

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 and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Cytokine pathways driving diverse tissue pathologies in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex systemic disorder characterised primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease e.g. of the lung with potentially devastating clinical consequences.
