Syndecan-2 Regulates PAD2 to Exert Antifibrotic Effects on RA-ILD Fibroblasts
[Scientific Reports] Scientists demonstrated that the expression of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2), an enzyme that catalyzes protein citrullination, was increased in lung homogenates from subjects with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) and their lung fibroblasts.

Immunomodulatory Matrix-Bound Nanovesicles Mitigate Acute and Chronic Pristane-Induced Rheumatoid Arthritis
[NPJ Regenerative Medicine] Isolated matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) were delivered via intravenous or peri-articular injection to rats with pristane-induced arthritis. The results of MBV administration were compared to intraperitoneal administration of methotrexate, the clinical standard of care.
