Background: Auto-immune diseases are a fascinating but poorly understood group of diseases.
Major Points: In this review, we will consider genetic susceptibility to auto-immune diseases, initiation of autoreactivity and changes in pathologic processes. Recent physiopathological hypotheses are detailed with clinical examples.
Perspectives: A better knowledge of the physiopathological mechanisms would allow the development of more efficacious treatments.

The Genetic Causal Effect of Autoimmune Diseases on pan-Cancers: Evidence from Mendelian Randomization.
J Cancer
January 2025
Department of Spinal Surgery, Tianjin Union Medical Center, Tianjin, China.
Whether autoimmune diseases caused any effects on the risk of cancers remained yet clarified. This study aimed to investigate the causal effect of autoimmune diseases on pan-cancers through mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The GWAS summary datasets of 10 autoimmune diseases were derived from the IEU or UK biobank website.

Introduction: Unfolded Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is increased in thrombotic pathologies such as myocardial infarction. Unfolded VWF mediates the binding of platelets without the need for collagen. β-glycoprotein I (β-GPI) is a natural inhibitor of the platelet-VWF interaction.

Objective: Recently, three distinct phenotypes of Sjögren's disease (SjD) patients have been described, based on cluster analysis: B-cell active with low symptoms (BALS), high systemic activity (HSA), and low systemic activity with high symptoms (LSAHS). We aimed to assess whether these clusters were associated with distinct biomarkers and the prognostic value of IFN signature.
Methods: The ASSESS cohort is a 20-year prospective cohort of SjD patients.

Background And Objectives: Anti-NMDAR encephalitis (NMDARE) is a severe neurologic condition, and recently, the NMDAR Encephalitis One-Year Functional Status (NEOS) score has emerged as a 1-year prognostic tool. This study aimed to evaluate NEOS score and biomarker (neurofilament light chains [NfL], total-Tau protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and serum cytokines) correlation with modified Rankin Scale (mRS), cognitive impairment, and clinical recovery in pediatric NMDARE over 2 years.
Methods: In this French multicenter observational study, 104 pediatric patients with NMDARE were followed for a minimum of 2 years.

The gut microbiota is a crucial link between diet and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Using fecal metaproteomics, a method that concurrently captures human gut and microbiome proteins, we determined the crosstalk between gut microbiome, diet, gut health, and CVD. Traditional CVD risk factors (age, BMI, sex, blood pressure) explained < 10% of the proteome variance.
