Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Preparing for the Next Transformation in Pavement Management

open access: yes, 2015
Since the initial development of a systems approach for managing pavements in the late 1970's and early 1980's, there have been tremendous changes in the way transportation agencies have designed, constructed, and managed their pavement networks. In just

Distinct Molecular Pathways Supporting Sjögren Disease Clusters and Disease Progression

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Sjögren disease (SjD) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease. We aimed to investigate blood transcriptomic signatures and disease progression among three recently defined clusters of patients with SjD: (1) B cell active disease with low symptom burden (BALS), (2) high systemic activity (HSA), and (3) low systemic activity with high symptom ...

Decoding RNA regulation: Challenges and opportunities for RNA‐based therapies in Europe

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract RNA‐based medicinal products represent a promising frontier in personalised medicine, offering sequence‐specific disease targeting at various molecular levels, yet their clinical translation in the European Union (EU) may be hindered by regulatory uncertainty around definitions and evidence requirements; this study therefore aims to identify ...

What is a curriculum for life? Using youth participatory action research and applied arts to understand and amplify undergraduate students', children's and young people's mental health and wellbeing recommendations for education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Mental health is a critical issue globally, with young people being one of the most affected groups. Young people have campaigned vehemently for a ‘curriculum for life,’ arguing that their education is failing to meet their needs (British Council, 2022).
