From osteoarthritis to rheumatoid arthritis: re-exploring the molecular pathways and therapeutic potential of diacerein

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Diacerein, an anthraquinone derivative, is emerging as a promising disease-modifying agent in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), because of its potent anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective actions. Unlike nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which primarily inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, diacerein suppresses interleukin-1β, a central mediator of synovial inflammation and cartilage degradation. It also […]

Deciphering the regulatory programs of RNA binding proteins in rheumatoid arthritis through single-cell transcriptome analysis

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from published datasets were obtained to investigate the expression and dysregulation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which are critical for alternative mRNA splicing and translational control in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). How RBP regulation differs between RA and osteoarthritis (OA) was examined using […]

Recent advances in nano-targeting drug delivery systems for rheumatoid arthritis treatment

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal.  Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory disease that can lead to articular cartilage destruction and periarticular bone erosion, thus ultimately compromising joint integrity and function. Anti-inflammatory drugs and biological agents are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, but they cannot selectively target inflamed joints, because of […]
