: Several significant associations between certain Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles and myasthenia gravis (MG) subtypes were established in populations from Western Europe and North America and, to a lesser extent, from China and Japan. However, such data are scarcely available for Eastern Europe. This study aimed to analyze the associations of HLA Class I and II alleles with MG and its serological subtypes (with anti-acetylcholine receptor autoantibodies, RAch+MG, and double-seronegative, dSNMG) in myasthenic patients of Romanian descent.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection downregulates surface major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) expression and retains MHC-I in the Golgi complex of infected cells. However, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. The VZV IE4 protein is a multifunctional protein that is essential for VZV infection.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly fatal malignancy, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) is a critical factor affecting SCLC progression. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are crucial components of TME, yet their role in SCLC and the underlying mechanisms during their interaction with SCLC cells remain to be determined.
Methods: Microenvironmental cell components were estimated using transcriptome data from SCLC tissue available in public databases, analyzed with bioinformatic algorithms.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most important complication of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in eyes. Despite its prevalence, the early detection and management of DR continue to pose considerable challenges. Our research aims to elucidate potent drug targets that could facilitate the identification of DR and propel advancements in its therapeutic strategies.
