Sjögren’s syndrome-associated microRNAs in CD14+ monocytes unveils targeted TGFβ signaling [PDF]
SjS-associated miRNA expression levels are positively associated in CD14+ monocytes. Linear regression analyses were used to define associations between miRNAs in HC (circle, n = 17), SLE (triangle, n = 17), and RA (diamond, n = 18) patient groups ...

Aims This real‐world pharmacovigilance study utilizes FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data (2004–2024) to characterize age‐related disparities in hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)‐associated adverse events (AEs), addressing gaps in age‐stratified risk assessment. Methods Disproportionality analysis (reporting odds ratios, RORs) and parametric Weibull

Association of Childhood Acute Leukemia With Autoimmune Diseases
A possible link exists between various pediatric autoimmune diseases (AIDs) and increased risk of childhood leukemia. Although immune dysregulation is a key feature of these conditions, the connection between them remains unclear. In this study, using cancer registry data in Finland, the authors examined associations between AIDs and childhood acute ...

Modulation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal (JNK) by Cholinergic Autoantibodies from Patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]
Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients ...

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.
