Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI
ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

ABSTRACT Background Scleromyxedema (SMX) is a cutaneous mucinosis characterised by an abnormal accumulation of mucin in the skin and limited treatment options. Assessment of therapy response during treatment is challenging. Objectives Patients with SMX receiving high‐dose intravenous IVIg therapy were included to assess validity of the double modified ...

Ventilation Imaging of the Lung at 0.55T With Continuous Slice Cycling
ABSTRACT Purpose To propose and evaluate a novel method for pulmonary ventilation imaging, offering considerably improved SNR. Methods A continuous slice cycling (CSC) acquisition scheme is proposed to exclusively capture signal modulations from respiratory motion with increased SNR.

Abstract Acquired lipodystrophy in the dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) is an early phenotype of skin fibrosis, followed by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Lipodystrophy syndromes are estimated to affect 1 in 20,000 people and are associated with metabolic comorbidities.

Hutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging disorder caused by a mutation in LMNA that produces the toxic progerin protein. In this study, an adenine base editor delivered via AAV9 achieved partial gene correction in HGPS mice when given at two weeks of age, partially rescuing bone structural and gene expression parameters and ...
