Pathogenic Role of Immune Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Implications in Clinical Treatment and Biomarker Development.

TL;DR: The pathogenic role of various immune cells and immunological molecules in RA is discussed and the importance of understanding the immune cells in treating RA is highlighted and in exploring novel biomarkers are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The global prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis based on a systematic review

TL;DR: The objective is to determine the global population prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on population-based studies and assess factors that influence RA prevalence estimates, including geographical location, the risk bias assessment of studies and sample size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent progress regarding kaempferol for the treatment of various diseases (Review)

TL;DR: Kaempferol has beneficial effects against cancer, liver injury, obesity and diabetes, inhibits vascular endothelial inflammation, protects the cranial nerve and heart function, and may be used for treating fibroproliferative disorders, including hypertrophic scar.
Journal ArticleDOI

LncRNA PICSAR promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion of fibroblast-like synoviocytes by sponging miRNA-4701-5p in rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: Results reveal PICSAR may exert an essential role in promoting synovial invasion and joint destruction by sponging miR-4701-5p in RA and that lncRNA PICS AR may act as a biomarker of RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two decades of research in discovery of anticancer drugs targeting STAT3, how close are we?

TL;DR: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) controls many biological processes including differentiation, survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis as discussed by the authors, however, despite decades of research, a FDA-approved STAT3 inhibitor has yet to emerge.

2010 Rheumatoid arthritis classification criteria: an American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative.

TL;DR: This new classification system redefines the current paradigm of RA by focusing on features at earlier stages of disease that are associated with persistent and/or erosive disease, rather than defining the disease by its late-stage features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptors.

TL;DR: This unit discusses mammalian Toll receptors (TLR1‐10) that have an essential role in the innate immune recognition of microorganisms and are discussed are TLR‐mediated signaling pathways and antibodies that are available to detect specific TLRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The increased understanding of the immune mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis has led to the development of a considerable number of new therapeutic agents that alter the natural history of the disease and reduce mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolving concepts of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Based on the pathogenic mechanisms, specific therapeutic interventions can be designed to suppress synovial inflammation and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.
