IL-17 in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a potent stimulator of osteoclastogenesis

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-17 first acts on osteoblasts, which stimulates both COX-2-dependent PGE2 synthesis and ODF gene expression, which in turn induce differentiation of osteoclast progenitors into mature osteoclasts, and that IL -17 is a crucial cytokine for osteoclastic bone resorption in RA patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variants in KCNQ1 are associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The data implicate KCNQ1 as a diabetes susceptibility gene in groups of different ancestries as well as in two independent Japanese populations, and the risk allele of this polymorphism was associated with impairment of insulin secretion according to the homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function or the corrected insulin response.
