To improve the availability of three-dimensional (3D) structures of HLA molecules, we created the pHLA3D database. In its first version, we modeled and published 106 3D structures of HLA class I molecules from the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C loci. This paper presents an update of this database, providing more 127 3D structures of HLA class II molecules (41 DR, 42 DQ, and 44 DP), predicted via homology modeling with MODELLER and SWISS-MODEL. These new 3D structures of HLA class II molecules are now freely available at pHLA3D (www.phla3d.com.br) for immunologists and other researchers working with HLA molecules.

Unlabelled: Among different anti-hypertensive drugs, calcium channel blockers and human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the two main types. Herein, we took 25 biologically active ligands with potent anti-hypertensive activities and performed molecular docking studies with the human ACE receptor (PDB ID 1O8A) and human leukocyte antigens (HLA) complex, human voltage-dependent calcium channel alpha1 subunit (PDB ID 3LV3). Beforehand, we had performed density functional theory (DFT) studies to find out their structure-property relationships.

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prominent public health concern, is defined as functional and structural damage to the kidneys. This study aims to investigate the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles individuals with CKD and the different etiological subgroups of diesease.
Methods: Genomic DNA was obtained from peripheral blood samples of 1,079 patients with retrospective CKD and 1,111 healthy control individuals.
Do the provisional PRINTO Enthesitis/Spondylitis-Related JIA criteria capture youth with axial spondyloarthritis?

Background: The Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO) recently undertook an effort to better harmonize the pediatric and adult arthritis criteria. These provisional criteria are being refined for optimal performance. We aimed to investigate differences between patients who did and did not fulfill these PRINTO criteria amongst youth diagnosed with juvenile spondyloarthritis (SpA) that met axial juvenile SpA (axJSpA) classification criteria.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells may have neuroprotective and tissue regenerative capabilities and the potential to rescue retinal degeneration in chorioretinal diseases including myopic chorioretinal atrophy. Transplantation of human (allogeneic) adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell (adMSC) suspensions has been clinically conducted to treat retinal degenerative diseases. However, serious side effects including proliferative vitreoretinopathy and epiretinal membrane formation have been reported.

Pharmacogenomic diplotyping of complex genes requires full-length DNA sequences and detection of structural rearrangements. We introduce StarPhase, a tool that leverages PacBio HiFi sequence data to diplotype 21 CPIC Level A pharmacogenes and provides detailed haplotypes and supporting visualizations for HLA-A, HLA-B, and CYP2D6.
