Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA.

A continuous spectrophotometric assay method for peptidylarginine deiminase type 4 activity

open access: yes, 2014
A simple, continuous spectrophotometric assay for peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) is described. Deimination of peptidylarginine results in the formation of peptidylcitrulline and ammonia.

Extracellular Vesicle Signatures and Post-Translational Protein Deimination in Purple Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) Coelomic Fluid—Novel Insights into Echinodermata Biology

open access: yesBiology, 2021
The purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) is a marine invertebrate of the class Echinoidea that serves as an important research model for developmental biology, cell biology, and immunology, as well as for understanding regenerative responses

Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Interventions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Multiorgan ischemia–reperfusion injury begins with ischemia‐induced ATP depletion and ionic imbalance, followed by reperfusion‐triggered mitochondrial ROS/RNS bursts, regulated cell death, and DAMP release. Sterile inflammation converges on endothelial–immune–coagulation crosstalk, where NETs drive immunothrombosis, no‐reflow, and remote organ injury ...

Peptidylarginine Deiminase (PAD) Inhibitor Optimization through Displacement of a Trapped Water Molecule

open access: yesACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters
Excess protein citrullination, a post-translational modification converting arginine to citrulline, has been associated with a range of autoimmune and neurological disorders, as well as cancers. Protein citrullination is mediated by the peptidylarginine deiminase enzyme family (PAD1-4), and inhibition of one or several PAD isozymes in combination may ...

Molecular Quantification of Fibrogenesis and Macrophage Activation Associate With Clinical Worsening in Patients With Cirrhosis

open access: yesLiver International Communications, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of the potential of biomarkers for monitoring clinical improvement, assessing trajectory or disease progression in advanced chronic liver disease is still insufficient. This study investigated biomarkers of fibrosis and macrophage activation over time in newly diagnosed patients with cirrhosis and their potential association with ...

Histone Modifications in Cardiovascular Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes how classical and emerging histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs), together with their chromatin regulators (writers, erasers, and readers), govern major pathobiological programs in cardiovascular disease.

Peptidylarginine Deiminase Inhibitor Application, Using Cl-Amidine, PAD2, PAD3 and PAD4 Isozyme-Specific Inhibitors in Pancreatic Cancer Cells, Reveals Roles for PAD2 and PAD3 in Cancer Invasion and Modulation of Extracellular Vesicle Signatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with limited survival rate. Roles for peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) have been studied in relation to a range of cancers with roles in epigenetic regulation (including

Profiling Protein Citrullination in Extracellular Vesicles by Single‐Molecule Detection Using Direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy

open access: yesJournal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study identifies post‐translationally citrullinated/deiminated protein cargoes co‐localised to EV subtypes, using super resolution microscopy and dSTORM imaging. The findings expand current understanding of post‐translational modifications in EV‐mediated cellular communication.

Neutrophil Plasticity and NETosis in Tumour Microenvironment: Tumour Evolution and Therapy Resistance

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web‐like formations consisting of DNA‐histone complexes and associated proteins released from activated neutrophils. While NET formation plays an important role in innate immunity, it is also associated with the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and systemic lupus ...
