Biological Mechanisms That Trigger Rheumatoid Arthritis Identified

Two biological mechanisms have been identified by researchers from Boston and at Johns Hopkins as the major cause of protein citrullination which triggers the immune system; driving the cascade of events leading to rheumatoid arthritis. In a report to be published online in the journal iScience Translational Medicine/i on Oct. 30, the research team describes how it found pore-forming pathways in cell membranes that are associated with the abnormal citrullination ...
