Engineering Tertiary Lymphoid Structures: Nanomedicine, Bioengineering, and Biomaterials for Precision Immunotherapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review explains how biomaterials and nanoparticles can be used to induce or modulate tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), which are ectopic immune hubs that form in nonlymphoid tissues during chronic disease and cancer. By comparing different methods, the article highlights design principles for modeling TLSs or recapitulating specific TLS ...

Fresh Insights into Disease Etiology and the Role of Microbial Pathogens. [PDF]

, 2016
Pathogens have been implicated in the initiation and/or promotion of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc); however, no evidence was found to substantiate the direct contribution to this disease in past years.

Serum Cytokine Profiling Differentiates Underlying Diseases in Cytokine Storm Syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Serum cytokine profiling was performed using Luminex (48 cytokines) and ELISA (5 cytokines). Assessment of key cytokines (IFN‐α, IL‐18, IL‐6, CXCL9) delineated five dominant inflammatory patterns: I, IFN‐α–dominant CSS; II, IL‐18–dominant CSS; III, IL‐6–dominant CSS; IV, IFN‐γ–dominant CSS; and V, IL‐6 & IFN‐γ intermediate CSS.

Epstein-Barr virus, infectious mononucleosis, and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders. [PDF]

, 1994
PTLD may be considered as an "opportunistic cancer" in which the immunodeficiency state of the host plays a key role in fostering the environment necessary for abnormal lymphoproliferation.

Distinct HLA Associations for Antibody Multireactivity With Citrulline‐Containing Type II Collagen Epitopes Versus More Limited Antibody Reactivity With Citrulline‐Containing IgG Epitopes in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be promiscuous, with cross‐reactive binding to many antigens containing short motifs, or private with little cross‐reactivity. Also, ACPA reactivity patterns differ among patients with RA, including for motif‐containing epitopes in important self‐antigens like ...

Phagocytic Mesothelial Cells in Pericardial Effusion Following Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for Chronic Active Epstein–Barr Virus Infection: A Distinctive Cytomorphological and Immunocytochemical Case Study

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phagocytic activity of mesothelial cells is a rare phenomenon requiring careful differentiation from histiocytic hemophagocytosis to ensure appropriate patient management, as these phenomena could exhibit distinct clinical implications. In this study, we report a case of phagocytic mesothelial cells found in pericardial effusion that developed

Clonal origin of Epstein-Barr virus-infected T/NK-cell subpopulations in chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection [PDF]

, 2010
Clonal expansion of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected B-cells occasionally occurs in immunocompromized subjects. EBV-infected T/natural killer (NK)-cells proliferate in patients with chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) that is a rare mononucleosis ...
