The aberrant immune response against self-antigens occurring in autoimmune diseases involves dysregulation of members of intracellular signal transduction pathways such as interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and Janus kinase (JAK). Aclaris Therapeutics Inc. has detailed the characterization of ATI-2138, a dual ITK/JAK3 covalent inhibitor.
Around the end of every year, the media reports on pregnancy and women who give birth on the last and first days of the new year.

While 2024 was coming to an end, gynecologists and other researchers finalized their publications to improve the health of women and their babies. The formation of the placenta or the study of preeclampsia are some of the first and last stories that greet and say goodbye to 2024. Those of 2025 will be born soon.
