Abstract: B-cells play a pivotal role in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) pathogenesis. We aim to (1) evaluate the distribution of B-lymphocyte subpopulations in pSS and Sicca patients, (2) establish cut-off points that discriminate pSS from controls,… read more here.

Abstract: Background Salivary gland biopsy is essential in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) diagnostics. However, tissue analysis using traditional methodology has several limitations including inaccurate quantification of lymphocytic infiltration and poor correlation with dryness. To perform biomarker… read more here.
