Targeting TNFSF4 in the Management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder that remains a significant challenge for both healthcare providers and researchers. Despite advances in understanding its mechanisms, finding effective therapies is still difficult. This review highlights a potential therapeutic target in SLE research: tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4), also referred to as OX40L. We explore how TNFSF4 contributes to SLE development, looking at its role in immune system regulation …

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Revisited: A Milestones in Classification, Mechanistic Insights on Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Evolving Treatment Paradigms
Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic, multi-systemic chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder characterized by extreme clinical heterogeneity and the potential to involve virtually any organ or tissue. The condition is driven by a fundamental breakdown in immune tolerance, resulting in the overproduction of pathogenic autoantibodies and the formation of immune complexes that precipitate widespread inflammation and organ damage. This review aims to provide an exhaustive synthesis of recent developments in …

Quinine: Past, Present, and Future Perspective in Malaria and Autoimmune Disorder
Abstract: Quinine, a natural alkaloid extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree, has traditionally played a key role in treating malaria, a disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus. Since its discovery in the 17th century, quinine has evolved from a rudimentary treatment to an essential component of modern antimalarial therapies. This article explores the historical use of quinine in the fight against malaria, its role in current treatment …
