Knee pain? Genicular artery embolization can offer relief

by Merve Ozen, University of Kentucky Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainOf all the joints in the body, the knees get the most wear and tear. Decades of walking, running, sitting, jumping and other activities can take a toll on the cartilage—the smooth tissue between the bones—leading to osteoarthritis. The resulting pain and stiffness can limit mobility...

Novel biologic Ab-IPL-IL-17 shows promise for rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease

by University of Birmingham Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers have shown that a novel antibody generated to target an ‘essential amino acid sequence’ of both interleukin-17A and F has greater activity and potentially fewer side effects than existing biological therapies for conditions such as as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The antibody, called...

Molecular discovery may mean new treatments for rheumatoid arthritis

By Paul McClure May 11, 2023 When a person with rheumatoid arthritis receives healthy antibodies, it can reduce inflammation and bone degeneration. Researchers have, for the first time, discovered the molecular pathways that underlie this process Depositphotos Injecting antibodies from a healthy person into someone suffering from rheumatoid arthritis can reduce inflammation and slow bone...

Anti-CCP testing for rheumatoid arthritis

The presence of anti-CCP in a person’s blood may indicate they have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). When the immune system produces anti-CCP, it triggers a series of reactions that damage tissues in the joints. This can result in pain, stiffness, and swelling. Anti-CCP is an auto-antibody. This is a protein the immune system can make that...

Herbal compound blocks progression of rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting protein

by Osaka University We all know that a strong immune system is a definite advantage. Yet, sometimes, the immune system goes awry and attacks the body. This autoimmunity is the cause of various disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease. To fight these diseases, it is crucial to determine...
