Hyaluronic acid hydrogel for RAInjectable bioadhesive and lubricating hydrogel with polyphenol mediated single atom nanozyme for rheumatoid arthritis therapy.
High relevance for RA therapy
We explored a novel injectable hydrogel designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, which often causes joint lubrication issues and cartilage damage. This hydrogel incorporates modified hyaluronic acid and nanozymes that work together to reduce inflammation and promote cartilage repair.
By enhancing lubrication and offering sustained anti-inflammatory effects, this treatment aims to address both early and late-stage rheumatoid arthritis effectively. Ultimately, the hydrogel presents a comprehensive approach to managing this chronic autoimmune condition.

We aimed to tackle the side effects of long-term use of tofacitinib, a well-known treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. By creating hyaluronic-acid-coated transethosomes, we delivered tofacitinib directly to affected areas, enhancing efficacy while reducing side effects. Our results showed significant anti-inflammatory effects, with marked reductions in inflammatory markers in treated rats compared to conventional delivery methods. This suggests that our targeted approach may offer a promising alternative for managing rheumatoid arthritis with fewer systemic impacts.

Innovative dual-drug treatment examinedInnovative rheumatoid arthritis management using injection replacement approach via dual therapeutic effects of hyalurosomes-encapsulated luteolin and dexamethasone.
Potential novel treatment for arthritis
We explored the potential of hyalurosomes that combine dexamethasone and luteolin as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. In a study using a rat model, we observed significant reductions in inflammatory markers like TNF-α and MDA, suggesting these dual drug-loaded hyalurosomes could effectively decrease inflammation and swelling in joints.
Histological analysis showed results comparable to the negative control group, indicating strong therapeutic effects. While this research is promising, further studies with human subjects are essential to confirm these findings and evaluate long-term benefits.

Hyaluronic acid shows promiseSelf-assembled hyaluronic acid nanoparticles delivered by polymeric microneedles for targeted and long-acting therapy of psoriasis.
High relevance for psoriasis treatment
We examined a new treatment method for psoriasis using a dissolvable microneedle patch that delivers hyaluronic acid nanoparticles combined with methotrexate. This approach aims for better targeting of inflammatory skin cells while reducing side effects associated with traditional therapies. In our study with a mouse model, just one application of the patch led to a significant decrease in skin thickening and inflammation over a week. The results suggest that this innovative delivery method could improve treatment outcomes for some psoriasis patients.

Hyaluronic acid shows promise in RAHyaluronic acid modified prussian blue analogs/TiO₂ janus nanostructures through efficient charge separation to enhance photocatalytic-driven dual gas for achieve multimodal treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Highly relevant treatment innovation
We synthesized a unique nanocomposite, HA-PBA-TiO, designed specifically for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This innovative material shows impressive capabilities, such as boosting oxygen levels and reducing harmful reactive oxygen species in inflamed joints through photocatalytic reactions.
Our experiments demonstrated that when these nanoparticles target RA-affected areas, they help control excessive cell growth and improve the local environment. The results suggest that this approach offers a promising avenue for RA treatment, with effective outcomes backed by our testing.
