Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Co‐morbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15 to 39% of people. Whilst pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.
