Mycophenolate Mofetil Treatment Reduces the Risk of Treatment Escalation Due to Vascular Complications in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis: Emulation of a Target Trial From the Italian Rheumatology Society SPRING Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 9, Page 1130-1139, September 2026.
Objective Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon because of the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Differential Item Functioning on the Patient Health Questionnaire 8 by Disease Subtype, Language, Sex, and Age Among People With Systemic Sclerosis: A Scleroderma Patient‐Centered Intervention Network Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 9, Page 1140-1148, September 2026.
Objective Somatic items used in depression assessments can potentially overlap with symptoms related to physical illness, including systemic sclerosis (SSc). No studies have looked at whether somatic depression items may be influenced by diffuse versus limited SSc disease subtypes, which are associated with varying degrees of symptom presentation.

Mimics of scleroderma

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2017
Systemic sclerosis is a rare autoimmune connective tissue disorder characterised typically by tightening and tethering of skin. However, several other disorders are also characterised by hardening and thickening of skin.

Long Noncoding RNA H19 Mediates STAT3‐Dependent Activation of Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Systemic Sclerosis Skin

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Volume 78, Issue 9, Page 1929-1941, September 2026.
Objective Dermal systemic sclerosis (SSc) fibroblasts and their exosomes can activate keratinocytes in SSc, with long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 highlighted as the most up‐regulated RNA in their cargo compared with healthy controls (HCs). The role of H19 in SSc pathogenesis has never been investigated.

Mechanobiological feedback loops and quantitative decision thresholds in organ fibrosis: Translational principles for antifibrotic therapy

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 3, September 2026.
Multiorgan fibrosis arises when chronic injury activates fibroblasts and remodels extracellular matrix, whose increasing stiffness sustains disease through mechanotransduction pathways. Bidirectional cellular‐matrix feedback operates across lung, heart, liver, and kidney.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Endoscopy: Understanding Gastric Stasis, Aspiration Risk, and Contemporary Peri‐Procedural Guidance

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 183-196, September 2026.
Pharmacological mechanisms and physiologic effects of GLP‐1 receptor agonists relevant to peri‐endoscopic risk. ABSTRACT The global increase in obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has led to a higher use of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) among patients ...

Nailfold capillary phenotypes distinguish juvenile myositis subtypes and associate with disease activity

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non‐invasive imaging tool that can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of juvenile myositis. Branched nailfold capillary morphology is more common in juvenile myositis patients, particularly those positive for TIF1γ+ autoantibodies. Juvenile myositis patients with more active disease demonstrate increased microhaemorrhages,
