Molecule Assigned Dual Role in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Most treatments for rheumatoid arthritis are designed to quell the immune system’s
assault on the tissue that lines the joints. It now appears that once it’s
attacked, the joint lining, or synovium, may ramp up inflammation as well as
bring about an erosion of cartilage. Michael Brenner (top) and David Lee, with
colleagues, have identified a protein that serves as a molecular ringleader for
the synovium’s destructive action. The findings could open a new avenue
for treating the joint-wasting disease.
