B cells and systemic sclerosis interstitial lung disease
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Interstitial lung disease is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc‐ILD) with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to FDA‐approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of interstitial lung diseases of other systemic autoimmune ...

Alu Overexpression Leads to an Increased Double‐stranded RNA Signature in Dermatomyositis
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition characterized by a high interferon signature of unknown etiology. Because coding sequences constitute <1.2% of our genomes, there is a need to explore the role of the non‐coding genome in disease pathogenesis.
