Objective To estimate the prevalence, types, and sociodemographic and biobehavioral
correlates of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in the US. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non‐coding RNA molecules that post‐transcriptionally regulate
gene expression, are known to play key roles in regulating immune responses and …

MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated silencing is a post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates
translation of mRNAs primarily via their 3′-UTR. Ago2 binds miRNA directly and is the core …

Introduction Autoantibodies in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) are
associated with unique subsets, clinical course and outcome. Anti-MJ antibodies, which …

OBJECTIVE: Identifying discriminatory human salivary RNA biomarkers reflective of disease
in a low-cost non-invasive screening assay is crucial to salivary diagnostics. Recent studies …

Objective. Patients with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis; SSc) can be classified into subsets
based on autoantibody profile and clinical features. Specificities such as anti-Th/To and anti-…

GW bodies (GWB or P bodies) are cytoplasmic foci thought to result from microRNA (miRNA)
regulation of messenger RNA (mRNA) targets and subsequent mRNA degradation. The …

Objectives. Primary anti-phospholipid syndrome (PAPS) is an autoimmune condition defined
by anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL) and thrombotic or obstetric events. Some PAPS can …

Oral Diseases (2011) 17, 601–609 Objectives: Chronic infiltration of lymphocytes into the
salivary and lacrimal glands of patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) leads to destruction of …

Background/objective Specific autoantibodies in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis
(PM/DM) are associated with unique subsets, and they are useful in monitoring clinical …
