Single cell transcriptomic analysis of Graves' disease thyroid glands reveals the broad immunoregulatory potential of thyroid follicular and stromal cells and implies a major re-interpretation of the role of aberrant HLA class II expression in autoimmunity.

The study of the immune response in thyroid autoimmunity has been mostly focused on the autoantibodies and lymphocytes, but there are indications that intrinsic features of thyroid tissue cells may play a role in disrupting tolerance that needs further investigation. The overexpression of HLA and adhesion molecules by thyroid follicular cells (TFC) and our recent demonstration that PD-L1 is also moderately expressed by TFCs in autoimmune thyroid indicates that TFCs they may activate but also inhibit the autoimmune response. Intriguingly, we have recently found that in vitro cultured TFCs are able to suppress the proliferation of autologous lymphocyte T in a contact-dependent manner which is independent of the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway.

Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm follow-up: when the phone rings. Changes during the COVID-19 pandemic and patient satisfaction. Experience in 30 health centers in Spain.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has favored the expansion of telemedicine. Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPN) might be good candidates for virtual follow-up. In this study, we aimed to analyze the follow-up of patients with Ph-MPN in Spain during COVID-19, its effectiveness, and acceptance among patients.

Lymphocytic Thyroiditis Transcriptomic Profiles Support the Role of Checkpoint Pathways and B Cells in Pathogenesis.

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most common types of autoimmune diseases, but their physiopathology is still relatively unexplored. Genotype-tissue expression (GTEx) is a publicly available repository containing RNAseq data, including profiles from thyroid. Approximately 14.
