New understanding about how to control autoimmune responses offers promise in efforts to develop treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), British researchers say. 
Rheumatoid Arthritis Breakthrough

Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful, inflammatory type of arthritis that occurs when the body's immune system attacks itself. A new article reports a breakthrough in the understanding of how autoimmune responses can be controlled, offering a promising new strategy for therapy development for rheumatoid arthritis.
Normally, immune cells develop to recognise foreign material – antigens; including bacteria - so that they can activate a response against them. Immune cells that would respond to 'self' and therefore attack the body's own cells are usually destroyed during development
Discovery of natural compounds that could slow blood vessel growth

Using a whole-genome approach, researchers have found more than one hundred human protein compounds that can slow blood vessel growth. This could lead to treatments against diseases that depend on the growth of new blood vessels, including cancer, macular degeneration and rheumatoid arthritis.
Drug restores speech in Alzheimer's but experts worry

Analysis of data from a study of American nurses confirms the PTPN22 polymorphism is a strong risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis, and that its presence interacts multiplicatively with heavy smoking.
Getting the Red Out: Drug improves kids' psoriasis symptoms
Sue Wu submitted, created time 11 months 2 weeks (www.sciencenews.org)
A rheumatoid arthritis drug can clear up psoriasis in most children, a new study finds. The report might be enough to cinch regulatory approval for the drug, etanercept, as the first systemic medication for psoriasis in youngsters.
Good news: Study Finds Gene Therapy Did Not Kill Patient!

Federal regulators have given a green light to a gene-therapy arthritis trial that was halted last summer after a patient died. New tests indicate that the therapy played no role in the death. The decision comes as a relief to gene-therapy researchers who had worried about a potential new setback for their field.
Why Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Involve the Joints?

A long-standing question in rheumatology is why inflammatory arthritides such as rheumatoid arthritis involve the joints. Many studies have addressed this question; a recent article by Lee et al.1 provides a new answer that is both obvious and intriguing. Rheumatoid arthritis affects the joints because of the essential role of the synovium in regulating inflammation.
Breakthrough developments in rheumatoid arthritis reported

Peter K. Gregersen, MD, stares at x-rays of hands, searching out the telltale signs of inflamed joints and wrists from his research subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. With these clinical features at his side, he turns to the basic building blocks of life the human genome to figure out what makes these people susceptible to the disabling inflammatory condition.
Dr. Gregersen has finally closed the circle between key genes identified in his laboratory at the Robert S
Green Tea Compound May Be A Therapy For Rheumatoid Arthritis

A compound in green tea may provide therapeutic benefits to people with rheumatoid arthritis. The study, presented April 29 at the Experimental Biology 2007 in Washington, D.C., looks at a potent anti-inflammatory compound derived from green tea. Researchers found that the compound called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) inhibited the production of several molecules in the immune system that contribute to inflammation and joint damage in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Whether adults had doctor-diagnosed arthritis?
DanyC submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (www.sciam.com)
As part of the survey, more than 31,000 working-age adults were asked whether arthritis or joint symptoms limited their ability to work or the type or amount of work that they engage in. Results suggest that arthritis affects roughly 18 percent of adults, or 23.4 million people, between the ages of 18 and 64. Of those with arthritis in this age group, nearly 30 percent report work limitations due to arthritis, a figure that corresponds to 5.3 percent of the adult population, or 6.9 million people.
Appearance concerns related to depression in patients with rheumatic disease
BIOBOSS submitted, created time 1 year 10 months (www.eurekalert.org)
