Figure 1 from paper: Characteristic features of lyme arthritis in different mouse strains after Borrelia burgdorferi infection. (A) X-ray examination of the hind limb joints on day 14 after infection to assess soft tissue edema in the joints. The upper row is the infection group, and the lower row is the PBS control group. (B) H&E-stained joint tissue on day 14 post-infection demonstrates inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue edema. Orange arrows mark pronounced synovial cell hyperplasia with structural disorganization. Green arrows indicate extensive connective tissue proliferation replacing native architecture. Purple arrows designate scattered necrotic cellular debris. Yellow arrows identify focal bone erosions. Blue arrows show dense inflammatory cell infiltration throughout joint tissue. Red arrows highlight isolated inflammatory cells within joint space. The left panels are at 4× magnification, while the right panels are magnified at 20×, showcasing detailed enlargements of specific regions within the 4× images. Scale bars: 200 μm at 4× magnification, and 50 μm at 20× magnification. (C) Dynamic changes in the diameter of the rear ankle joints of mice (C3H and C57BL/6) within 56 days after infection. The diameter of the joint of the hind limb was measured weekly using a digital caliper, and the results are expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 6/group, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 compared to C57BL/6 control group, #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared to C3H control group). (D) Pathological severity scores in H&E-stained joint tissue from C3H and C57BL/6 mice (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01). Regarding the rectangular areas detected by the forensic tools, this is attributable to our utilization of whole slide imaging in pathology, which constructs digital imaging by stitching together square fields of view and supports free magnification from 0× to 400×. Blank areas within the scanning range (where there is no tissue on the slide) are identified as a white background.

CAR-T therapy provides relief for children with autoimmune diseases Symptoms and organ damage abated in young children and teenagers whose conditions had resisted other treatments.

Good news: Bei der CAR-T-Zelltherapie werden körpereigene Immunzellen entnommen, verändert und dem Körper dann zurückgegeben. So wurde bisher v.a. Blutkrebs behandelt. Jetzt hilft die CAR-T-Zelltherapie aber auch Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Autoimmunerkrankungen: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
