Tissue Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Genetically Linked to Low Peptidylglycine Alpha‐Amidating Monooxygenase Activity in Synovial Fibroblasts

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Both susceptibility to, and severity of, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the rs26232 C allele. Our primary aim was to identify the biologic mechanism underlying this association. Methods Expression of surrounding genes was compared among rs26232 genotypes.

Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Macrophage‐targeted cerium‐tannic acid metal‐polyphenol framework nanoenzyme promotes in situ heart valves regeneration through adaptive immunomodulation

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A novel nanoenzyme based on cerium ions‐tannic acid metal‐polyphenol framework (FCT) has been developed and loaded onto DHVs for targeting M1 macrophages to reduce their ROS level and reprogram macrophage phenotype, thereby eliminating inflammation, promoting endothelialization and adaptive matrix remodeling of scaffolds, offering a promising strategy ...

Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Flap perfusion of superficial split flap design for guided bone regeneration: A case report with ultrasonography

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Effective flap management is crucial for successful bone regeneration procedures. Traditional flap release has been performed by the deep split design; recently, the superficial split design revives for its proposed anatomical and biomechanical advantages.
