Biomarkers of Lupus Nephritis Histopathology: Where Do We Stand?
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is characterized by a variable disease course, necessitating continuous monitoring. There is an urgent need to identify noninvasive biomarkers. By reviewing and critically assessing the quality of existing studies on LN biomarkers correlating with histopathology, we here explore the challenges in promoting their use in ...

Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by increased type I interferon (IFN‐I) and autoantibody production. This study aimed to identify drugs that can inhibit both IFN‐I and autoantibody production. Methods We identified an inhibitor of IFN‐I production from a chemical library.

Inhibiting ERK Activation with CI-1040 Leads to Compensatory Upregulation of Alternate MAPKs and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 following Subtotal Nephrectomy with No Impact on Kidney Fibrosis [PDF]
Extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) activation by MEK plays a key role in many of the cellular processes that underlie progressive kidney fibrosis including cell proliferation, apoptosis and transforming growth factor β1-mediated epithelial to ...

Dysregulation of U12‐Type Splicing in Lupus Neutrophils
Abstract. Objective Neutrophil dysfunction is a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but its molecular basis remains unclear. This study explores transcriptional and post‐transcriptional changes in low‐density granulocytes (LDGs), a proinflammatory neutrophil subset expanded in SLE, focusing on NADPH oxidase (Nox) function and minor intron ...

Distal renal tubular acidosis as a cause of osteomalacia in a patient with primary Sjögren's syndrome [PDF]
Background. One half of the patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome has extraglandular manifestations, including renal involvement. The most frequent renal lesion is tubulo-interstitial nephritis, which manifests clinically as distal tubular acidosis ...

Pediatric case of mesalazine‐induced interstitial nephritis with literature review [PDF]
We present the case of a 14‐year‐old boy with ulcerative colitis who was diagnosed with mesalazine‐induced interstitial nephritis ( M‐IIN ). Improvement in renal function occurred with discontinuation of mesalazine and corticosteroid therapy.

Aims In medical education, the ability of large language models (LLMs) to match human performance raises questions about their potential as educational tools. This study evaluates LLMs' performance on Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) exams, comparing their results to medical students and exploring their ability to identify poorly formulated
