The IL-17A–IL-17F inhibitor bimekizumab is safe and effective for the treatment of both radiographic and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, according to the results of two parallel phase III trials.
Age-related stiffening of the extracellular matrix in cartilage promotes chondrocyte ageing in an epigenetically controlled process involving repression of the longevity protein α-Klotho.
Blockade of iron uptake by the transferrin receptor CD71 can reduce metabolic dysregulation in T cells, resulting in amelioration of autoimmune pathology in lupus-prone mice.
IL-37 can delay intervertebral disc degeneration in rats by regulating the NF-κB pathway and ameliorating the senescence phenotype of nucleus pulposus cells.
IKKε, an upstream regulator of the NF-κB signalling pathway, mediates cartilage degradation in a mouse model of osteoarthritis and is a potential therapeutic target.
New research suggests that impaired synovial lymphatic function contributes to the pathogenesis of age-related osteoarthritis and could represent a new therapeutic target.
A calcium-binding peptide derived from fetuin-A inhibited pathological cartilage calcification in an experimental model of osteoarthritis, suggesting therapeutic potential.
Lipid nanoparticles loaded with type II collagen and rapamycin can induce antigen-specific regulatory T cell responses and alleviate disease in a mouse model of osteoarthritis.
New evidence from animal models and human studies suggests that mammalian target of rapamycin has a role in the pathophysiology of Still’s disease and macrophage activation syndrome.
New research reveals that ferritin has an essential role in neutrophil extracellular trap (NET)-mediated inflammation, and suggests that NETs or the ferritin receptor MSR1 could be targeted for the treatment of adult-onset Still disease.
