Background Abnormalities of type I interferon signaling and production can initiate lupus development. Disturbances of nucleic acid-sensing molecules triggered autoreactivity in lupus mouse models.

Objective The heterogeneity of lupus clinical manifestations makes it difficult to precisely characterize the full spectrum of patient profiles with traditional real-life (claims) data sources. This ...

Several questions about SLE pathogenesis have continued to puzzle investigators over decades.A major question in the pathogenesis of SLE is the role of self-antigen. Early studies suggested that SLE ...

Purpose Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are organized aggregation of immune cells at sites of inflammation. The development of TLS in autoimmune settings indicate that they may be sites for both ...

Background People with SLE (and their doctors) are concerned about the risk of COVID-19 infection, yet some patients still harbor concerns regarding vaccination. The first mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines ...

Background SLE is an inflammatory condition associated with hyperactivation of the immune system, with mounting evidence that imbalances in the gut microbiota communities are common. These imbalances ...

Purpose to identify the presence of variants in gene related to monogenic lupus and their relationship with clinical manifestations in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) or lupus-like ...

Objective The objective of this review is to highlight the role of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) in the pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), focusing on their development, ...

Background Pathologic inflammation is a major driver of kidney damage in lupus nephritis (LN), but the immune mechanisms of disease progression and risk factors for end organ damage are poorly ...

The significant allelic effect at rs13385731 and enhancer effect on RasGrp3 expression level. (A) ChIP-qPCR assays for determining allele-specific DNA-protein interactions with H3K27ac, H3K4me1, ...

Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus requiring renal biopsy to guide treatment decisions. Despite standard-of-care therapy, a third of ...
