Article Abstract

MR lymphangiography (MRL) is an emerging technique focalized on a noninvasive or minimally invasive imaging of lymphatics with the goal to treat and plan lymphedema. Doctor Cellina M. and colleagues clearly underlined the possible role of MRL with volume calculation as an objective mark also in evaluating response to treatment. In this Letter to the Editor, we would like to highlight the rising role of MRL, pointing out the advantages of both the non-contrast and contrast-enhanced approach, in lymphatic vessels study.

Increasing the use of microphysiological systems (MPS) in Three Rs and regulatory applications is a nuanced but important goal, which would also help increase their scientific impact. There are three distinct and important stakeholder groups that each play a unique role in expediting the use of MPS for regulatory purpose - namely, commercial MPS developers, end-users and regulators. Additionally, non-profit organisations, such as the 3Rs Collaborative (3RsC), can help coordinate these efforts.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by self-antibody production and widespread inflammation affecting various body tissues. This disease is driven by the breakdown of immune tolerance, which promotes the activation of autoreactive B and T cells. A key feature of SLE is dysregulation in antigen presentation, where antigen-presenting cells (APCs) play a central role in perpetuating immune responses.

Dysregulated IL-10 producing regulatory B cells (Bregs) are associated with the progression of systemic lupus erythematosus. An immunomodulatory role of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is implicated in autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular basis underlying the role of Hspa13 in regulating Bregs function and lupus pathogenesis remains unclear.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease. A burst of autoimmune reactions in various systems can lead to severe clinical conditions closely associated with mortality. T cells serve as mediators that drive the occurrence and maintenance of inflammatory processes.
