    Immune cell profiles of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy patients expressed anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase or anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 autoantibodies

    Patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) often express a different type of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs), each associated with different clinical symptoms. Understanding the immunopathoge...

    Amelioration of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via TGF-β-induced Smad and non-Smad signaling pathways in galectin-9-deficient mice and fibroblast cells

    Galectin-9 is a β-galactoside-binding protein with two carbohydrate recognition domains. Recent studies have revealed that galectin-9 regulates cellular biological reactions and plays a pivotal role in fibrosi...

    The kinase GLK controls autoimmunity and NF-κB signaling by activating the kinase PKC-θ in T cells

    The enzyme that directly activates the kinase PKC-θ during T cell antigen receptor signaling is still unknown. Tan and colleagues show that the serine-threonine kinase GLK is a direct activator of PKC-θ.
