Rheumatoid Arthritis and Stem Cell Therapies Perspectives for It
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by systemic inflammation, primarily affecting synovial joints, leading to joint destruction and systemic complications. The pathogenesis involves immune system dysregulation, autoantibody production, and enzymatic imbalances. Enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), serine proteases, and kinases, play crucial roles in these processes. Their dysregulation contributes significantly to disease progression through the imbalance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. MMPs, …

Stretching Boundaries: A Comprehensive Review of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and its Subtypes
Abstract: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) encompass 13 inheritable disorders affecting connective tissue. These conditions arise from genetic alterations impacting the structure of connective tissue. Every variant of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) exhibits distinct features and has specific diagnostic criteria. While certain traits such as joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility are common across all types of EDS. The range of clinical presentations spans from minor skin and joint looseness to severe …
