Objective The effect of the shared epitope (SE) and valine at position 11 (Val11) of HLA–DRB1 on the activation of CD4+ T cells is expected to be diminished by abatacept, a costimulation blocker. However, published evidence on the value of genetic stratification for abatacept treatment is conflicting. We aimed to compare the difference in effectiveness

Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease that is characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and pain. Macrophages have been implicated in OA pathology, but the origins and functions of diverse macrophage subsets seeding the synovial joint tissue remain incompletely understood.

Autoantibody Response Toward Chromatin in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Objective Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) frequently exhibit antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), but the specific antigen target recognized by them and the presence of additional autoantibody specificities in patients with JIA remains elusive.

Objectives Growing evidence suggests farming and agricultural pesticide use may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but few studies have examined specific pesticides and RA among farm women, who may personally use pesticides or be indirectly exposed.

Background Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an age‐related inflammatory disease with shoulder‐hip girdle involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals extracapsular/entheseal soft tissue involvements in both PMR and spondyloarthritis (SpA) with sacroiliac joint and peri‐entheseal spinal bone marrow oedema (BMO) being characteristic of SpA ...

Objective The transition from asymptomatic anti‐nuclear antibody (ANA) positivity to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) is associated with increased production of pro‐inflamamtory factors such as TNF‐α. Here we investigate whether the relative absence of inflammation in asymptomatic ANA+ individuals (ANA+NS) results from a lack of circulating

B cells and systemic sclerosis interstitial lung disease
Interstitial lung disease is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc‐ILD) with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to FDA‐approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of interstitial lung diseases of other systemic autoimmune ...
