Cell ‐based therapies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Stem cell therapy for systemic sclerosis was evaluated. The efficacy of mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells was evaluated. Issues, including conditioning regimen, limitations, and complications, were discussed AbstractAutoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis that is the most prevalent rheumatic autoimmune disorder, affect autologous connective tissues caused by the breakdown of the self-tolerance mechanisms of the immune system. During the last two decades, cell-based therapy, including stem cells and none-stem cells has been increasingly considered as a therapeutic option in various diseases. This is partl...

High frequency of type I interferon auto ‐antibodies in a group of middle‐aged HIV‐infected patients: A cross‐sectional exploratory study
ConclusionsThis study, which is the first searching auto-antibodies against type I interferons in HIV-infected patients, demonstrated that their prevalence was higher than that expected by the age of these patients. Furthermore, it indicated that these auto-antibodies are nonspecifically increased in critical SARS-CoV-2 infection but can be found also in other infections.

Correlation between immune ‐related Tryptophan‐Kynurenine pathway and severity of severe pneumonia and inflammation‐related polyunsaturated fatty acids
ConclusionThis study revealed that during severe pneumonia, the Tryptophan-Kynurenine pathway was activated and was positively correlated with the disease progression. On the other hand, the activation of the Tryptophan-Kynurenine pathway was negatively correlated with N-3/N-6 PUFAs. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Evaluation of common protein biomarkers involved in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases with proteomic methods: A systematic review
ConclusionAlthough these 31 proteins regulate different factors and molecular pathways in all five diseases, they ultimately lead to the regulation of inflammatory pathways. In other words, the expression of some proteins in COPD and mustard-exposed patients increases inflammatory reactions, while in IPF, they cause lung fibrosis. Asthma, causes allergic reactions due to T-cell differentiation toward Th2. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)

Evaluation of risk factors for cytomegalovirus DNAemia after end of regular prophylaxis after heart transplantation
ConclusionOur data should raise awareness of CMV-DNAemia after the termination of regular prophylaxis, as this affects one in five HTx patients. Especially old recipients as well as D+/R − and D−/R+ serology share an elevated risk of late CMV-DNAemia. For these patients, prolongation, or repetition of CMV prophylaxis, including antiviral drugs and CMV immunoglobulins, may be considered. (Source: Immunity, Inflammation and Disease)
