Familial Mediterranean Fever: A Comprehensive Review of Pathogenesis, Genetics, and Epigenetic Regulation [2026]
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12758588

the bad news:
"Patients carrying identical MEFV variants, particularly those with low penetrance, may exhibit a wide spectrum of disease courses, ranging from subclinical carriers to severe, colchicine-resistant FMF."

the good news:
"For decades, researchers have sought to explain the high carrier frequency of FMF-associated variants among Mediterranean populations, interpreting it as a possible outcome of selective advantage against a historical disease. Y. pestis, the plague-causing bacterium, has emerged as a plausible driver of positive selection in FMF carriers ..."

@dr_anastasia The emphasis on catching cartilage changes while the disease is still modifiable is the part that matters most clinically, current imaging mostly confirms damage that's already irreversible, so a protocol that can detect biochemical shifts before structural collapse genuinely changes the treatment window rather than just improving diagnosis of what's already too late to reverse. Pairing contrast-agent uptake kinetics with correlation against arthroscopic findings is a smart way to ground quantitative imaging in actual tissue reality rather than just validating one imaging method against another. Looking forward to seeing how the diagnostic platform connects to the regenerative biomaterials stage, that integration from early detection straight through to targeted cartilage repair is where this could genuinely shift clinical practice. Would love to see this project get the support and attention it deserves.

I've stumbled across a number of case studies (like this one) in rheumatology journals linking systemic sclerosis and psoriatic arthritis. I wonder if my rheumy is planning to write about me too ...
