Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are the first line medications to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease affecting multiple joints. Sinomenine (SIN) is thought a natural DMARD (nDMARD) and effectively utilized to treat RA in clinic for several decades in China. Here we reported that it is not metho...

Methotrexate (MTX) has been used as an anchor drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), while the patients with chronic MTX administration suffer from severe side-effects. To this end, targeted delivery of MTX by nanomedicine has attracted great interest. In this work, we aimed to employ metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as nanocarrier to ...

Rheumatology and therapy
Methotrexate (MTX) constitutes the first-line therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), yet approximately 30% of the patients do not benefit from MTX. Recently, we reported a prognostic multivariable prediction model for insufficient clinical response to MTX at 3 months of treatment in the treatment in the Rotterdam Early Arthritis Cohort (tREACH), inc...

Tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) therapies are often the first biologic therapy used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, a substantial fraction of patients do not respond adequately to TNFi therapies. A test with the ability to predict response would inform therapeutic decision-making and improve clinical and financial outco...
