Diagnostic Agreement in Subepidermal Blistering Diseases: Is ELISA Test Reliable as Direct Immunofluorescence? A Systematic Review, Meta‐Analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 391-418, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is the gold standard for diagnosing subepidermal blistering diseases (SBDs). However, DIF requires specialized expertise; therefore, alternative immunological methods such as enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are worth exploring.

Snapshot Look at Castleman Disease

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Castleman disease (CD) is a rare and heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders characterised by abnormal proliferation of lymphoid tissue. First described in the 1950s, it has since been classified into two major clinical forms: unicentric CD (UCD), involving a single lymph node region and multicentric CD (MCD), which affects ...

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 12-25, January 2026.
Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region, whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

AIRE's Complex Role Beyond Promiscuous Gene Expression

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Central tolerance, established in the thymus, ensures T cells are nonreactive to self‐antigens while maintaining a functional immune repertoire. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and thymic dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in this mechanism by orchestrating the selection and deletion of autoreactive thymocytes, a process ...
