Introduction: Immunosenescence remodels immune functions and was first described with aging. It is present in 25% of cancer patients but has also been described in patients with Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). This study aims at quantifying cells exhibiting a phenotype of senescence in CD4+ (T4sen) and CD8+ (T8sen) T cells, analyzing its potential drivers and the effect of anti-TNF treatment in a prospective cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Sjögren disease (SjD).

Background: Recurrent 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal facial features, global developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID), short stature, hand/foot malformation, and congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, the specific genetic defects that contribute to the cardiac phenotype remain unclear.

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy: From molecular mechanisms to clinical advances.

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLDs) are a group of inherited disorders characterized by impaired myelin formation in the central nervous system. Among them, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a well-defined X-linked leukodystrophy caused by mutations in the PLP1 gene, including duplications, missense variants, and null mutations. Recent studies have revealed that different types of PLP1 mutations lead to distinct pathomechanisms: while missense mutations induce endoplasmic reticulum stress and activate the unfolded protein response (UPR), PLP1 duplications cause aberrant intracellular trafficking and cholesterol accumulation without UPR activation.

The aim of this study was to investigate three unrelated Simmental calves with atypical white coat color, identify potential genetic causes using a trio-based whole-genome sequencing approach, and assess the prevalence of the identified variants in the breed. Several inherited alleles affecting coat color, ranging from fawn to red spotted and white-headed, have been described in Simmental cattle originating from Switzerland. However, no genetic variant has yet been associated with an almost completely white coat in this breed.
