Diagnostic utility of Anti-cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies for Very Early Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

National Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2014
Background and Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread joint inflammation with synovial hyperplasia. The most well known diagnostic marker is rheumatoid factor (RF).However; RF is not a good

Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies are associated with osteopenia but not with pain at diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis: data from the BARFOT cohort

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) have been suggested to have a potential role in both bone loss and pain in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on studies in vitro and in animal models.

Citrullinated Antigens with Multiple Citrulline Similar Motif in the Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Preliminary Single-Center Study

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in the serum is one of the immunological features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) assay has been widely used in clinic for the diagnosis of RA.

Anti‐CCP Antibody, a Marker for the Early Detection of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of synovial joints. In most cases this will lead to the formation of pannus tissue, ultimately leading to joint destruction. Early diagnosis, coupled with aggressive use of disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs, has been shown to have a favorable effect on ...

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.
