Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The introduction of disease-modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) has enabled rheumatologists to rescue patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from joint destruction. Therapy of RA with DMARDs is still evolving, along with clinical applications of molecular targeted therapies: newly introduced biological DMARDs and targeted synthetic DMARDs, i.e., JAK inhibitors. Considering the present situation in the rheumatology department, we planned this Special Issue, titled ‘Current and Emerging Therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis’, the aim of which is to disseminate up-to-date knowledge on current and emerging therapies for RA worldwide. We welcome authors to submit interesting papers, either original research or review, on the current topics regarding the advances in RA therapy.
