In our new paper PNASNews we show that previous cardiovascular disease increases susceptibility to ICI-myocarditis development by recruiting autoimmune myosin specific TRM cells to the heart! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Daniela Cihakova Taejoon Won Abdel Rahman Daoud

Our new paper on ICI myocarditis is out. I am very proud of this work, congratulation to the whole team and first author Hannah Kalinoski

Mouse model and in vitro study investigated the pathogenic role of anti-PAD4 autoantibodies in RA, suggesting a model where anti-PAD4 antibodies primarily target monocytes triggering an inflammatory cascade A&R doi.org/10.1002/art.43…

Proposed mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis disease exacerbation by anti-PAD4 antibodies

Our new paper is out with Taejoon Won Anti-Peptidylarginine-4 Autoantibodies Derived from Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Exert Pathogenic Effects by Activating Monocytes and Exacerbating Inflammatory Arthritis - PubMed

Our latest study on PAD4 in arthritis (doi.org/10.1002/art.43…) is highlighted in Nature Reviews Rheumatology. Excited! Daniela Cihakova Camille Jaime (she/her) Wonyoung Jo
