TNF inhibitors are used to treat various immune-related adverse events caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, whether TNF inhibition compromises the anticancer efficacy of ICI therapy is unknown. This Review discusses the relationship between TNF, TNF inhibition and cancer.
Intestinal dysbiosis is thought to be involved in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this Review, the authors discuss the gut–joint axis in RA and the potentially pathogenic role of gut-derived immune cells in the joints.
The field of rheumatology is poised to categorize the phenotypes of systemic autoimmune diseases on the basis of measurable and quantifiable molecular signatures. Emerging efforts to identify similarities across diseases, predict clinical outcomes and predict response to therapy using quantitative, data-driven approaches could considerably change treatment paradigms.
A multitude of factors contribute to the development and progression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) through their effects on immune cells and tissue resident cells. Ultraviolet light instigates skin inflammation in SLE, and now new findings suggest that neutrophils in the inflamed skin migrate to the kidneys, spreading the inflammatory response.
In this Consensus Statement, an expert panel from the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Clinics Multicenter Advancement Network (PPACMAN) recommends terminology for defining specific subgroups of individuals during the preclinical and early clinical phases of psoriatic arthritis to be used in research studies.
In this Review, the authors discuss macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in relation to other cytokine storm scenarios, and provide a framework for understanding MAS within the spectrum of innate and adaptive immunity in the context of gain or loss of immune function.
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common condition associated with low back pain, but approved pharmacological interventions to prevent progression of IVD degeneration are lacking. This Review discusses the clinical progress and challenges of cell-based therapeutics for repairing the IVD.
