Vascular cell adhesion is a complex orchestration of events that commonly feature lectin–ligand interactions between circulating cells, such as immune, stem, and tumor cells, and endothelial cells (ECs) lining post-capillary venules. Characteristically…
VEXAS syndrome is a recently described autoinflammatory syndrome caused by the somatic acquisition of UBA1 mutations in myeloid precursors and is frequently associated with hematologic malignancies, chiefly myelodysplastic syndromes. Disease presentati…
BackgroundCurrently, there is a lack of an objective quantitative measure to comprehensively evaluate the inflammatory activity of axSpA, which poses certain challenges in accurately assessing the disease activity.ObjectiveTo explore the value of combi…
IntroductionLung cancer, with the highest global mortality rate among cancers, presents a grim prognosis, often diagnosed at an advanced stage in nearly 70% of cases. Recent research has unveiled a novel mechanism of cell death termed disulfidptosis, w…
This systematic review aimed to verify whether there is evidence of an association between apical periodontitis and the presence of systemic biomarkers. This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses – PRIS…
IntroductionCrohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Approximately 50% of patients with CD progressed from inflammation to fibrosis. Currently, there are no effective drugs for treating intestinal fibrosis. Biologic therapies for CD such…
IntroductionSpontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCAD) is a rare vasculopathy whose trigger is still unknown. We hypothesized that autoimmunity against components of the vascular wall might play a critical role in sCAD and examined anti-collagen typ…
Past research has identified that cancer cells sustain several cancer hallmarks by impairing function of the endolysosomal system (ES). Thus, maintaining the functional integrity of endolysosomes is crucial, which heavily relies on two key protein fami…
ObjectiveAntigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and monocytes play an essential role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, however, their tolerogenic potential remains unclear. Herein, the tolerogenic profiles of DCs are characterized in treatme…
IntroductionOutbreaks of coronaviruses and especially the recent COVID-19 pandemic emphasize the importance of immunological research in this area to mitigate the effect of future incidents. Bioinformatics approaches are capable of providing multisided…
