Exploring tear fluid biomarkers and the ocular surface in thyroid eye disease
Abstract Purpose To examine ocular surface changes and inflammatory tear fluid biomarkers in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). Methods We included 106 Graves' disease (GD) patients (36 without TED, 32 with active and 38 with inactive TED) and 106 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy subjects for ophthalmological evaluation, including ocular surface ...

Graves' disease is associated with a defective expression of the immune regulatory molecule galectin-9 in antigen-presenting dendritic cells [PDF]
Introduction Patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) show defects in their immune-regulatory mechanisms. Herein we assessed the expression and function of galectin-1 and galectin-9 (Gal-1, Gal-9) in dendritic cells (DCs) from patients with ...

TSHR‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Aptamer Treats Graves' Ophthalmopathy via Novel Allosteric Inhibition
This study presents YC3, a novel inhibitory TSHR‐targeting aptamer, as a promising therapeutic for Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). YC3 suppresses pathological phenotypes in human orbital fibroblasts and improves outcomes in GO mice by binding to a previously unidentified allosteric site on TSHR, demonstrating the potential of aptamers in advancing ...

An Allosteric Strategy for Thyroid Eye Disease This illustration depicts an aptamer (purple) binding to the target protein (white) at an allosteric site. This strategic binding induces a conformational change that acts as a shield, preventing pathogenic autoantibodies (red) from initiating the disease cascade, while leaving the protein's normal ...

Application of machine learning in the diagnostic work‐up of telomere biology disorders
ABSTRACT We applied supervised and unsupervised machine learning (ML) analyses to a cohort of 140 patients referred to the Hematology Unit of the G. Gaslini Institute from 1989 to 2023 for persistent cytopenia and/or features suggestive of telomere biology disorders (TBDs). Patients were labeled as “TBD” (n = 20, established molecular diagnosis of TBD),
