Scleroderma patients with autoantibodies against centromere proteins and/or IFI16 have a higher risk of severe vascular complications. In this study, we show that expression of these autoantigens is enriched in vascular progenitors and mature endothelial cells.

A research team from the Johns Hopkins Division of Rheumatology found that a new imaging method called dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is a promising strategy to identify affected joints in patients with gout.
