Evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of anti‐CGRP monoclonal antibodies in patients with migraine and autoimmune diseases: IMMUNO‐CGRP study

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate demographic characteristics, treatment effectiveness, and safety outcomes in patients with migraine undergoing anti‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) treatments regarding the presence of autoimmune diseases. Background CGRP has an important role in migraine pathophysiology through neuronal modulation

Evolving treatments for Sjögren disease: current approaches and emerging targets

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Sjögren disease (SjD) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune condition characterised by exocrine gland dysfunction, systemic inflammation and heterogeneous organ involvement. Current management remains largely symptomatic, with no approved disease‐modifying therapies available and substantial unmet clinical need. However, advances in understanding

Repeated Unstimulated Whole Saliva Collection: A Reliable Approach to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Sixty‐two healthy participants provided unstimulated whole saliva by passive drooling for 5 min, three times daily for three consecutive days (nine samples). Single measurements showed high intra‐subject variability and limited reproducibility. Averaging repeated, standardised collections improved reliability and may enhance diagnostic accuracy ...

The Expression and Potential Role of MicroRNAs in Oral Lichen Planus

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic T‐cell‐mediated immune disease of unknown aetiology. MicroRNA (miRNAs) are short non‐coding RNAs capable of regulating mRNA and may have roles in T‐cell‐related diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of miRNAs in OLP patients and its interaction with potential target ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...
