Autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), often characterized by pain, constitute a diverse group of autoimmune conditions involving inflammation-mediated injuries to bones, joints, surrounding connective tissues, and occasi...

IntroductionFamilial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) is a rare condition related to partial deficiency of adipose tissue and consequent insulin resistance resulting in metabolic alterations. Although type 2 diabetes mellitus...

Osteoporosis (OP), a widespread metabolic bone condition characterized by diminished bone mass and compromised microarchitecture, poses a significant global health challenge. The gut microbiota (GM) regulates bone homeos...

IntroductionBone defect repair remains a clinical challenge due to the complex inflammatory microenvironment that regulates mesenchymal stem cell fate.MethodsBased on our previous work demonstrating that quercetin-loaded...

Osteoporosis is a very common disease nowadays, and it is mostly seen in postmenopausal women. In postmenopausal women, with the decrease of estrogen, directly or indirectly, it makes the decrease of bone mineral density...

Two anatomically and functionally distinct populations of periodontium-derived fibroblasts can be identified: gingiva fibroblasts (GFs), which originate from the soft connective tissue of the gingiva and support epitheli...

IntroductionAdrenal incidentalomas are an increasing clinical concern and, while most are non-functioning adrenal adenomas (NFAA), a relevant subset is associated with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), condition...

BackgroundRecessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a devastating genodermatosis caused by biallelic COL7A1 mutations, where chronic inflammation drives disabling complications affecting quality of life and su...

Advances in perinatal and neonatal medicine have dramatically improved the survival rates of infants with perinatal vulnerabilities of preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW) or small for gestational age (SGA), by re...

B cell-mediated immunity plays a crucial role in long-term humoral protection. However, dysregulation of B cell development and differentiation may lead to the persistence of autoreactive clones, contributing to autoimmu...

IntroductionIndividuals with obesity may be at a higher risk of developing severe periodontitis. We previously reported that C-C motif ligand 19 (CCL19) plays a pivotal role in adipose inflammation in obesity and that ad...

BackgroundPathogenic variants in melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) are the most common cause of nonsyndromic monogenic obesity. However, links between MC4R-related obesity and pubertal tempo, and the long-term endocrine–m...

BackgroundAn adverse female bias exists across many autoimmune disorders, yet its underlying mechanisms, particularly the role of sex hormones, remain poorly understood. Furthermore, the physiological influence of sex ho...

Early-life vaccinations often yield short-lived antibody (Ab) responses due to limited germinal center (GC) reaction and plasma cell (PC) survival. The aim of the study was to assess how vaccine delivery routes (homologo...

BackgroundBloodstream infections (BSI) are life-threatening conditions initiated by pathogens entering the circulation, with Staphylococcus aureus among the most lethal causative agents. The liver is the primary site for...
