Angiogenic T Cells: Potential Biomarkers for the Early Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease in Autoimmune Diseases?

Biomedicines, 2022
(1) Background: We explored, for the first time, the contribution of angiogenic T cells (TAng) in interstitial lung disease associated to autoimmune disease (AD-ILD+) as potential biomarkers of the disease, evaluating their role in the underlying ...

ORMIR_XCT: A Python package for high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography image processing [PDF]

Journal of Open Source Software, 9(97), 6084 (2024), 2023
High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is an imaging technique capable of imaging trabecular bone in-vivo. HR-pQCT has a wide range of applications, primarily focused on bone to improve our understanding of musculoskeletal diseases, assess epidemiological associations, and evaluate the effects of pharmaceutical ...

The persistence of anti-Spike antibodies following two SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses in patients on immunosuppressive therapy compared to healthy controls—a prospective cohort study

BMC Medicine, 2022
Background The durability of vaccine-induced humoral immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) on immunosuppressive therapy is not known.

Conditional loss of IKKα in Osterix + cells has no effect on bone but leads to age-related loss of peripheral fat

Scientific Reports, 2022
NF-κB has been reported to both promote and inhibit bone formation. To explore its role in osteolineage cells, we conditionally deleted IKKα, an upstream kinase required for non-canonical NF-κB activation, using Osterix (Osx)-Cre.

Calcified deep somatic soft tissue leiomyoma of the leg: A case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023
Deep somatic soft tissue leiomyoma is a rare benign smooth muscle tumor, with around 60 cases reported thus far in the literature. Herein, we report a huge leiomyoma in deep somatic soft tissue with massive calcification in the peroneus longus muscle.

Identification of FAT3 as a new candidate gene for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Scientific Reports, 2022
In an effort to identify rare alleles associated with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) whole-exome sequencing was performed on a discovery cohort of 73 unrelated patients and 70 age-and sex matched controls, all of French-Canadian ancestry.

MSKdeX: Musculoskeletal (MSK) decomposition from an X-ray image for fine-grained estimation of lean muscle mass and muscle volume [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Musculoskeletal diseases such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis are major obstacles to health during aging. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT) can be used to evaluate musculoskeletal conditions, frequent monitoring is difficult due to the cost and accessibility (as well as high radiation exposure in the case of CT)

Approaches to mimic the complexity of the skeletal mesenchymal stem/stromal cell niche in vitro [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2019
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are an essential element of most modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches due to their multipotency and immunoregulatory functions.
