Cellular therapies in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases by Pedro Franco-Fuquen, Juana Figueroa-Aguirre, David A. Martínez, Eider F. Moreno-Cortes, Juan E. Garcia-Robledo, Fabio Vargas-Cely, Daniela A. Castro-Martínez, Mustafa Almaini, Januario E. Castro

“…These diseases, which include autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, are marked by the presence of autoreactive B cells that play a critical role in their pathogenesis. The persistence of these autoreactive B cells within lymphatic organs and inflamed tissues impairs the effectiveness of B-cell-depleting monoclonal antibodies like rituximab.A promising therapeutic approach involves using T cells genetically engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target specific antigens. …”

Circulating Monocyte and Lymphocyte Populations in Healthy First-Degree Relatives of Type 2 Diabetic Patients at Fasting and during Short-Term Hyperinsulinemia by Michaela Šiklová, Eva Krauzová, Barbora Svobodová, Jana Kračmerová, Marek Štěpán, Michal Koc, Vladimír Štich, Lenka Rossmeislová

“…The alterations of the CD4/CD8 lymphocyte ratio, relative content of TH17 cells, and intermediate monocytes in FDR are features of genetic predisposition to T2DM and may play a role in pathogenesis of T2DM. Short-term hyperinsulinemia affected mostly the immune cell populations deregulated in FDR subjects, which suggests important interplay between immune system homeostasis and insulin levels.…”
