The aim of this review is to give an update on advances in evaluation and management of systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related Raynaud's phenomenon and digital ulceration, focusing on reports from the last 18 months. The increasing recognition of the huge impact of Raynaud's phenomenon and of digital ulceration on the everyday lives of patients with SSc has sparked enthusiasm internationally to develop better outcome measures and better treatments, and so a review is timely.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is heterogenous on molecular, cellular, tissue, and clinical levels. Although many biomarkers have been described in clinical studies, few have been rigorously mapped to specific molecular pathways, tissue pathologies, and clinical manifestations. A focused assessment of peripheral blood levels of C–C Motif Chemokine Ligand-18 (CCL18) and periostin illustrates how biomarkers can link molecular mediators to clinical outcomes.

Autoantibodies are hallmark findings in systemic sclerosis (SSc), often present prior to disease onset. Clinical diagnosis and prognosis of SSc have long relied on the antitopoisomerase – anticentromere – anti-RNA polymerase antibody trichotomy. However, many more autoantibodies found in SSc are being actively investigated for insights into triggering events, mechanisms of tolerance break, and connections to tissue damage. This review examines recent studies on SSc autoantibodies and the early events that lead to their development.

Primary cilia, the antenna-like organelles on most mammalian cells, host key components of multiple morphogen signal transduction pathways. Mutations in genes responsible for primary cilia assembly and function generally result in pathological conditions known as ciliopathies, which underlie several diseases, including various forms of fibrosis. Primary cilia modulate cellular responses to extracellular cues, including TGF-? and morphogens, such as Hedgehog. Aberrant morphogen signaling is recognized as essential for the transition of mesenchymal progenitor cells to myofibroblasts, the key step in fibrosis. This article aims to provide a critical overview of recent developments and insights in primary cilia biology relevant to fibrosis.

Adipose tissue is closely associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-pathology, both anatomically and functionally. This review focuses on local effects of adipocytes in the context of adipose to mesenchymal transdifferentiation (AMT), effects of the adipose stromal vascular fraction on SSc pathogenesis and systemic effects of adipose tissue secretome.

The aim of the present review is to analyze the link between autoimmune diseases and environmental factors, in particular severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19) as it shares numerous features with the interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue diseases positive for rare autoantibodies directed at highly specific autoantigens (i.e., MDA5 and RIG1) among the intracellular sensors of SARS-CoV-2 in the innate response against viruses.

The continued development in the field of immunohistochemistry (IHC) has improved the ability to diagnose muscle diseases. Many hereditary diseases are diagnosed by the absence or abnormal localization of proteins. Detection of secondary pathological protein expression is also used in diagnostics, and to study disease processes. We relate and discuss recent reports, where IHC has been an important tool in the investigation of muscle diseases.

Necrotizing myopathy is a broad term. It includes patients with the recently described immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM) who have specific antibodies, such as anti-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase or anti-signal recognition particle, seronegative phenotypes that can be associated with cancer, and other types of myositis and connective tissue diseases involving necrotic muscle fibers as a characteristic pathologic feature. Necrotizing myopathies that are not immune-mediated, such as those caused by drugs, dystrophies, infections, or even hypothyroidism are also included. The purpose of this review is to address the differential diagnosis of these disorders.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a serious autoimmune disease with a wide range of organ involvement. In addition to aberrant B-cell responses leading to autoantibody production, T-cell abnormalities are important in the induction of autoimmunity and the ensuing downstream organ damage. In this article, we present an update on how subsets of CD8+ T cells contribute to SLE pathogenesis.

B-lymphocytes are crucial in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including autoantibody production, antigen presentation, co-stimulation, and cytokine secretion. Co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules control interactions between B and T cells during an inflammatory response, which is essential for an appropriate host protection and maintenance of self-tolerance. Here, we review recent findings about checkpoint molecules and SLE B cells including their potential therapeutic implications and experiences from clinical trials.

Both social and genetic factors are associated with health outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), thus playing a role in its health disparities. Despite the growing list of social and genetic factors associated with SLE outcomes, studies integrating sociocultural and individual determinants of health to understand health disparities in SLE are lacking. We review the contributions of different social and genetic factors to the disparities in SLE, and propose a socioecological model to integrate and examine the complex interactions between individual and social factors in SLE outcomes.
