Anticitrullin antibodies modern markers of rheumatoid arthritis
Терапевтический архив, 2011 Modern diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is based on the ARA criteria with seropositivity detection by the rheumatoid factor (RF). In a clinically evident stage of the disease this factor is highly sensitive and specific (about 90%), but in early RA

Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

Smoking, rheumatoid factors, and rheumatoid arthritis
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 1998 Saag et al 1 reported that smokers were more often rheumatoid factor (RF) positive, had more often rheumatoid nodules and more radiographic erosions compared with non-smokers. Their report questions whether smoking stimulates RF production and thus affects the disease progression in RA.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
