Gut bacteria changes may foreshadow rheumatoid arthritis

University of LeedsNov 8 2024 Changes in the gut microbiome before rheumatoid arthritis is developed could provide a window of opportunity for preventative treatments, new research suggests. Bacteria associated with inflammation is found in the gut in higher amounts roughly ten months before patients develop clinical rheumatoid arthritis, a longitudinal study by Leeds researchers has found.  Affecting...

Uncovering the cause of regulatory T cell dysfunction in elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis

August 30, 2024 by University of Tsukuba Graphical abstract. Credit: Clinical Immunology (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.clim.2024.110337Researchers at Tsukuba University have discovered that the increase in regulatory T (Treg) cells, which typically suppress immune responses, does not adequately control elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis. In the arthritic environment, Treg cells exhibit altered metabolic activity, reduced suppressive function, and increased...
