In 2024, CD19-CAR T cells are ubiquitous in rheumatology, with incredible therapeutic results in cases of severe and refractory disease. This major advance confirms the interest of the B lymphocyte as a therapeutic target, and also suggests the real possibility of a drug-free remission, at the price of minor and minimal side effects for the time being. However, the necessary perspective is still lacking for a therapy that remains out of reach because of its price.

Background: Cardiovascular risk management is beneficial, but stringent glycemic control does not prevent the progression of distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN). Persistent hyperglycemia-induced alterations and cardiovascular factors may contribute to diabetes-associated nerve damage. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between skin auto-fluorescence (sAF), an indicator of dermal advanced glycation end-product (AGE) accumulations, cardiovascular risk, and changes in peripheral nerve integrity.
