Immunometabolic cues recompose and reprogram the microenvironment around implanted biomaterials.

Circulating monocytes infiltrate and coordinate immune responses in tissues surrounding implanted biomaterials and in other inflamed tissues. Here we show that immunometabolic cues in the biomaterial microenvironment govern the trafficking of immune cells, including neutrophils and monocytes, in a manner dependent on the chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) and the C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1). This affects the composition and activation states of macrophage and dendritic cell populations, ultimately orchestrating the relative composition of pro-inflammatory, transitory and anti-inflammatory CCR2, CX3CR1 and CCR2 CX3CR1 immune cell populations.

Similarities and differences between systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult-onset Still's disease: a multicenter Spanish study.

To describe the characteristics of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), compare their presentation and evolution, and analyse possible complication predictors. Multicenter study. Data were retrieved from a hospital-based study of patients with a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of sJIA or AOSD according to the responsible physician and followed-up for at least one year.
