Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in the third millennium

Pages 249-254 | Published online: 12 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Immense progress has been made in recent years in the management of patients with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This progress is largely owed to the advances in our understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of inflammation and autoimmunity and the substantially improved knowledge of molecular biology. In this editorial review, we delineate recent developments in the treatment of RA with a focus on biological therapeutics, we outline the concerns and open questions risen by the current studies and we portray future expectations based on the recent observations from those trials with biological treatment interventions.
