Objective Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon due to the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of the vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Stress‐Induced Activation of Prolactin‐NR4A1‐Midkine Axis Exacerbates Skin Inflammation
Chronic psychological stress activates prolactin signaling to reprogram dermal fibroblasts into APCDD1+ inflammatory effectors via NR4A1, driving midkine secretion. This paracrine hub amplifies keratinocyte proliferation and immune recruitment, thus exacerbating skin inflammation.

Clinical–Radiological Spectrum of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy‐Related Inflammation
Objective To identify clinical and radiological features of cerebral amyloid angiopathy‐related inflammation (CAA‐ri), and compare these features with those of sporadic CAA, to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and clinical care of CAA‐ri. Methods We retrospectively reviewed routine clinical data from 37 patients with CAA‐ri and 158 patients with ...
