Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Studies on interferon (IFN) induction and isolation of IFN-inducing mutant viruses

, 2011
The interferon (IFN) system is a powerful antiviral defense system. Host cell pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognise pathogen-associated molecule patterns (PAMPs) which when activated, lead to the transcription of the IFN-β gene. As a consequence

Interplay between flaviviruses and the interferon response: mechanisms of immune evasion and therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Pharmacology
The genus Orthoflavivirus encompasses a group of medically significant arthropod-borne viruses, such as dengue virus (DENV), Japanese encephalitis virus West Nile virus Zika virus (ZIKV), and others, which pose persistent global public health threats ...

Real‐World Safety and Effectiveness of JAK Inhibitors in Systemic Sclerosis: A Propensity‐Matched Study from the EUSTAR Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective JAK inhibitors (JAKis) have shown promising effects in early‐phase studies of SSc. We aimed to assess the safety and explore effectiveness of JAKis compared to conventional immunosuppressants in SSc. Methods A longitudinal retrospective study of the EUSTAR cohort was performed.

Comparative analysis of the impact of interferon regulatory factors on basal and induced interferon and interferon stimulated gene expression in human and canine keratinocytes

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionKeratinocytes are key barrier cells able to mount a robust interferon (IFN) antiviral response to defend against infection in the skin. Similar to humans, dogs spontaneously develop skin disorders associated with dysregulation of IFN immunity

RIG-I Detects Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Transcripts in a RNA Polymerase III-Independent Manner

mBio, 2018
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is a cytosolic pathogen recognition receptor that initiates the innate immune response against many RNA viruses. We previously showed that RIG-I restricts Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) reactivation (

Swelling‐Programmed Topographical Guidance for Dynamic Spheroid Self‐Assembly via a Mechanochemical Hydrogel Niche

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A swelling‐programmed micropatterned hydrogel guides adherent cells through a controlled transition from cell–matrix anchoring to cadherin‐mediated cell–cell compaction, enabling rapid assembly of high‐viability spheroids with defined size and morphology.

The interferon alpha receptor utilises T-cell receptor-associated proteins for signalling [PDF]

, 2009
The interferon alpha receptor (IFNAR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) are expressed upon the T-cell surface. The dimeric Class I interferon receptor is a cytokine receptor that recognises interferons such as IFNα.

Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

Type III Interferon-Mediated Signaling Is Critical for Controlling Live Attenuated Yellow Fever Virus Infection In Vivo

mBio, 2017
Yellow fever virus (YFV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus, infecting ~200,000 people worldwide annually and causing about 30,000 deaths. The live attenuated vaccine strain, YFV-17D, has significantly contributed in controlling the global burden of yellow
