    Understanding why individuals with Down syndrome are highly predisposed to autoimmunity has broad mechanistic and therapeutic implications. New work identifies novel potential mechanistic pathways driving increased autoimmunity-relevant CD11c+ B cells and provides the broadest view to date of the repertoire of autoantibodies generated in individuals with Down syndrome.

    Given that intra-articular injections for the knee of treatments such as hyaluronic acid, stem cells and platelet-rich plasma are advised against or only weakly recommended by current clinical-practice guidelines, why do people continue to seek information about these treatments?

    Among the wide range of drugs now available for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, the best option for an individual patient remains unclear. Emerging real-world evidence from several Nordic registries suggests that differences exist in the response rates to different classes of biologic and targeted synthetic DMARDs in psoriatic arthritis.

    The onset of the destructive autoimmune joint disease rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is preceded by the development of autoantibodies to multiple citrullinated proteins. Research has now shown that citrullination modifies antigen processing, resulting in the production of cryptic epitopes, suggesting a new model for RA autoantibody development.

    Among the limited quality and quantity of evidence on vaccination use in individuals with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, a new guideline, developed with a rigorous methodology, provides useful support to clinicians and patients in making health-related decisions. Most recommendations are conditional, serving as a call to action for further research.

    Osteoarthritis has many appearances and can stabilize or progress aggressively. However, there is not yet an aetiological classification of osteoarthritis subtypes. Can in silico approaches, despite difficulties in validation, help with the identification of experimentally challenging subtypes? And if they can, will these approaches translate to clinical benefits?

    An ambitious project to update the classification of vasculitis syndromes has culminated in the development of new classification criteria for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, Takayasu arteritis and giant cell arteritis. Endorsed by the ACR and EULAR, the new criteria reflect progress in the understanding and assessment of these conditions.

    Lack of understanding of the immunology of sarcoidosis has limited therapeutic progress. However, evidence from a small open-label trial suggests that treatment with the Janus kinase inhibitor tofacitinib can improve sarcoidosis symptoms, predominantly by inhibiting type 1 immunity.

    Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and Kawasaki disease are both hyperinflammatory disorders associated with infectious diseases, but are they distinct syndromes or do they exist along a continuum? A comparison of the host immune response in these illnesses provides surprising new insights.
