From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

Swiss Practice Recommendations for Chronic Prurigo Including Prurigo Nodularis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Chronic prurigo, including prurigo nodularis, is a chronic, often treatment‐refractory condition characterized by persistent pruritus and chronic scratch lesions. Advances in the understanding of its underlying pathophysiology have enabled the development of novel targeted therapies; however, management remains challenging due to the expanding range of

Iron Overload: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Monitoring

open access: yesInternational Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron overload is associated with significant health risks, underscoring the importance of understanding its pathophysiology as well as establishing accurate diagnostic and monitoring methods. Chronic iron overload is associated with either genetic disorders characterized by excessive iron accumulation (hereditary hemochromatosis), or is ...

When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.

Plantar fascia thickness in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients: Clinical associations and metabolic correlates

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Ultrasound‐measured plantar fascia thickness is associated with microvascular complications and glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes, suggesting PFT as a potential non‐invasive tool for clinical assessment. In addition, improved thickness values were observed in patients using automated insulin delivery systems.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Structure-Function Relationships

Physiological Reviews, 2002
This review focuses on recent advances in the structure-function relationships of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and its receptor. TSH is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family constituting a subset of the cystine-knot growth factor superfamily.

The Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor: Impact of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Antibodies on Multimerization, Cleavage, and Signaling

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2009
The thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) has a central role in thyrocyte function and is also one of the major autoantigens for the autoimmune thyroid diseases. We review the post-translational processing, multimerization, and intramolecular cleavage of TSHR, all of which may modulate its signal transduction.

A water-soluble fragment of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor which binds both thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies

Journal of Endocrinology, 1984
ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown that freezing and thawing of human thyroid homogenates releases a water-soluble substance which reversibly binds to TSH-receptor antibodies. This substance has been designated long-acting thyroid stimulator absorbing activity (LAA).
