Mitochondrial Transplantation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Inherited Mitochondrial Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic avenue for mitochondrial diseases. This review comprehensively evaluates MTx, differentiating its feasibility for mtDNA‐ and nDNA‐based disorders. It examines its potential for genetic correction, alongside inherent limitations, technical challenges, and crucial ethical considerations ...

Polymyositis as a manifestation of chronic graft‐versus‐host disease after allo‐HSCT

Clinical Case Reports, 2018
Key Clinical Message Patients who received allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) may develop T cell‐mediated immunologic injury to muscles, recapitulating the characteristics of polymyositis clinically and pahtologically ...

Acute heart failure and rhabdomyolysis: a clue for the diagnosis of polymyositis with cardiac involvement

Reumatismo, 2017
Polymyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, characterized by proximal muscle weakness and sometimes extramuscular manifestations. We report the case of a 51-year-old male, with history of complete heart block, which required pacemaker ...

Association of Abatacept With Lower Mortality Risk Compared to Rituximab in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: An Emulated Target Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The optimal treatment strategy for rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) remains uncertain, and direct comparative data between biologics are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of abatacept compared with rituximab in patients with RA‐ILD.

A cooperative release of mitochondrial DNA from platelets and neutrophils drives an interferon signature in systemic sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Mitochondria are organelles with a hypomethylated circular genome. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the systemic circulation has been implicated in inflammation. This study investigates the role of circulating DNA in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and the cellular mechanisms governing its release.

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Association of autoimmune diseases with biologic agents targeting type 2 immunity: An observational study using a claims database

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
This observational study assessed the association between anti‐type 2 biologic agents and the occurrence of autoimmune diseases using a large real‐world claims database. Anti‐IL‐5 and anti‐IgE therapies were associated with an increased occurrence of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Polyomyositis and myocarditis associated with acquired toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent girl

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2001
Background Acquired toxoplasmosis more frequently goes unrecognized. Immunocompetent adults and adolescents with primary infection are generally asymptomatic, but symptoms may include malaise, fever, and lymphadenopathy.

Epidemiology and Genetics of Rheumatic Diseases Suggest a Constant Rate of DNA Damage as Underlying Cause

Immunology, EarlyView.
A constant rate of DNA damage that is not perfectly repaired will cause a constant rate of DNA mutations. The chance of mutation will increase if DNA is prone to damage, such as occurs in somatic hypermutation (SHM) hotspots and GC‐rich DNA. Thus, if one mutation‐prone DNA site drives disease, the age of onset of disease and degree of penetrance should
