New 'bouncer' molecule halts rheumatoid arthritis; Protective protein prevents immune system from ravaging joints and bones

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have discovered why immune cells of people with rheumatoid arthritis become hyperactive and attack the joints and bones. The cells have lost their bouncer, the burly protein that keeps them in line the way a bouncer in a nightclub controls rowdy patrons. The protein, called P21, prevents immune cells from their destructive rampage. When the scientists injected a mimic of P21 into an animal model of arthritis, the disease process was halted.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

New 'suicide' molecule halts rheumatoid arthritis

sciencedaily.com — “Scientists have invented a novel way to halt and even reverse rheumatoid arthritis. They have developed an imitation of a suicide molecule that floats undetected into overactive immune cells responsible for the disease. Referred to as Casper the Ghost, the stealthy molecule causes the immune cells to self-destruct. The approach doesn't carry the health risks of current treatments. The new therapy, tested on mice, stopped the disease cold in 75 percent of the animals.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
