Th17 Cells and the IL-23/IL-17 Axis in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis and Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases

TL;DR: A review of the current knowledge about the differentiation of Th17 cells and the role of the IL-17/IL-23 axis in the pathogenesis of IMIDs aims to review the association of these IMIDs with periodontitis and briefly discusses the therapeutic potential of agents that modulate the IL

Aberrant T Cell Signaling and Subsets in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the molecular defects including signaling events and gene regulation underlying the dysfunctional T cells in SLE is necessary to pave the path for better management, therapy, and perhaps prevention of this complex disease.

Mortality in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: an Updated Review.

TL;DR: While mortality in SLE patients continues to improve, there are differences in survival based on ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, and gender, and increased mortality remains a major concern in patient management.
Journal ArticleDOI

T cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

TL;DR: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder caused by a complex combination of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors which result in peripheral tolerance failures and biased differentiation of T cells into pro-inflammatory and B cell-helper phenotypes.
