Rheumatoid arthritis: Scientists stop tissue damage
In mice......
I have high hopes for the future for people with RA, but these animal studies are very early stage so I imagine 15 years or more before it translates to something we can use.
15 years?? Does it take that long?

I think the first stage of development of biologics was in the mid-1980’s, and Enbrel was finally prescribed to people in 1998....so some 13 + years. Clinical trials alone can take 7 years.
Hi Amy_Lee what an amazing article that pin points at a molecular level what is happening in the cells of us RA people. Could not follow every detail. They are certainly getting close to unravelling RA which then leads to cures, Lets hope it is soon. Thanks for posting this article.
Really interesting article. I didn’t know which bit of the white bloods cells goes rogue. It helped me understand the disease more. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this, a really interesting article that will hopefully translate into medication for RD. A long way to go before human meds become available, but interesting stuff.
Dear Amy_Lee,
A VERY interesting 'Post', I'm 'Borderline' for RA- some Results say 'Yes', others 'No'. I haven't had an 'attack', of RA, for while....Now I have Gout, honestly true!
Good news though, even if it takes 'A While'.

I had both RA factor and anti-CCP negative but I had all the symptoms of RA.
I would rather to listen to the research and hoping to see better treatment in future for all of us.
