Call for Papers Antiphospholipid Syndrome Beyond Thrombosis – Frontiers-Immunology

“Call for Papers: Antiphospholipid syndrome – beyond thrombosis (Frontiers in Lupus)
‘Antiphospholipid syndrome – beyond thrombosis’ is now welcoming submissions that push APS research past the classic ‘clotting-only’ framing – especially where APS intersects with lupus.
APS is defined by thrombotic risk in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). But newer work suggests the biology is not purely coagulation-driven. Complement activation, immune–coagulation cross-talk, and organ-specific manifestations (including pregnancy morbidity and possible inflammatory contributors to APS nephropathy) point to mechanisms that may matter for outcomes — and for treatment choices.
This Research Topic focuses on what we need to understand next:
- Inflammation and complement activation as drivers of APS manifestations
- Therapies beyond long-term anticoagulation (including approaches for treatment-resistant disease, high-risk aPL patterns, or arterial thrombosis)
- Novel biomarkers for APS diagnosis and risk stratification
- Multidisciplinary strategies for obstetric APS management
- Implications of the 2023 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for diagnosis and treatment
- Genetic and epigenetic factors shaping APS pathogenesis and progression
- Risk of SLE development in patients with primary APS
- APS emergence in SLE patients who were initially serologically negative
If your work helps clarify how thrombotic and inflammatory pathways interact in APS, and what that means for patients, this collection is a strong fit, including original research, reviews, and case analyses.
