Article Synopsis
  • - Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by dry mouth and eyes due to the destruction of salivary and lacrimal glands, with potential systemic issues like pneumonia and nephritis.
  • - Current treatments mainly involve medications that manage inflammation but don't repair tissue, highlighting the need for innovative approaches like cell therapy.
  • - Cell therapy, which includes stem and immune cell therapy, shows promise in reducing inflammation and aiding tissue repair for SS, yet challenges remain in preparation and logistics of these therapies.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent arteriovenous thrombosis and pathological pregnancy, accompanied by persistent antiphospholipid antibodies, (aPL). The incidence of APS is increasing year by year, clinicians lack of understanding of this type of disease, easy to misdiagnose and miss the diagnosis. Therefore, it is extremely important to establish a suitable animal model to reduce the process of disease development as much as possible and improve clinicians' understanding and understanding.

Autoimmune diseases are pathological autoimmune reactions in the body caused by various factors, which can lead to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. They can be divided into organ-specific and systemic autoimmune diseases. These diseases usually involve various body systems, including the blood, muscles, bones, joints and soft tissues.

The most prevalent and devastating form of organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is lupus nephritis (LN). LN is characterized by glomerular injury, inflammation, cell proliferation, and necrosis, leading to podocyte injury and tubular epithelial cell damage. Assays for urine biomarkers have demonstrated significant promise in the early detection of LN, evaluation of disease activity, and tracking of reaction to therapy.

Autoimmune/inflammatory diseases affect many people and are an important cause of global incidence and mortality. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have low immunogenicity, immune regulation, multidifferentiation and other biological characteristics, play an important role in tissue repair and immune regulation and are widely used in the research and treatment of autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. In addition, MSCs can secrete extracellular vesicles with lipid bilayer structures under resting or activated conditions, including exosomes, microparticles and apoptotic bodies.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a diffuse connective tissue disease characterized by the invasion of exocrine glands such as lacrimal and salivary glands, abnormal proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, and infiltration of tissue lymphocytes. With the development of modern medicine, although research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of pSS has made significant progress, its pathogenesis has not been fully understood. Meanwhile, in the era of individualized treatment, it remains essential to further explore early diagnosis and treatment methods.
