Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are emerging as both biomarkers and drivers of rheumatoid arthritis, linked to disease activity, treatment response and key pathogenic pathways. Targeting NET formation could open new therapeutic avenues in RA. doi.org/10.1093/cei/ux…

Open‑access review shows how immunotherapy has transformed advanced melanoma treatment, with many patients now likely cured, and highlights emerging options for those who don’t respond to current therapies. doi.org/10.1093/cei/ux…

This new open‑access study shows the β‑blocker nebivolol prevents T‑cell exhaustion and boosts cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells via β₂‑adrenergic receptor–dependent signalling, highlighting a potential new immunomodulatory strategy. vist.ly/4zh43

This study highlights 2B4 (CD244) as a key receptor driving Staphylococcus aureus–associated allergic inflammation. SEB binds and activates 2B4, amplifying eosinophil responses, pointing to a promising therapeutic target. 📄 bit.ly/4my2B1e

🧬 A rare SCID case highlights the complexity of inborn errors of immunity, showing how concomitant RAG‑2 and LRBA variants can coexist and why functional immunological testing is crucial when interpreting novel genetic findings, even years post‑HSCT. 👉 vist.ly/42fic

📢 Autoimmune overlap spotlight: MOG‑IgG and NMDAR‑IgG can coexist, causing MNOS, often presenting with psychiatric symptoms or seizures. Most patients respond to immunotherapy, but relapse risk is higher, making early recognition crucial. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/cei/ux…

📢 New open‑access study identifies PSMB8 as a biomarker predicting proton pump inhibitor response in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis, supporting more personalized treatment decisions. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/cei/ux…

A simpler, highly specific way to detect AIH? This study shows that MF-SMA patterns on vascular smooth muscle cells are easy to recognize and match gold-standard specificity, offering a more reliable diagnostic approach. 🧬 doi.org/10.1093/cei/ux…

Early splenectomy delays inflammation and reduces joint damage in a mouse model of autoimmune arthritis, highlighting a surprising protective role when done at early stages. 🧬 doi.org/10.1093/cei/ux… #Immunology #Autoimmunity #Arthritis
