ERAP1 and the return of the UPR in ankylosing spondylitis
Nature Reviews Rheumatology, Published online: 01 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41584-023-00910-yThe mechanisms underlying the genetic association between HLA-B27 and ankylosing spondylitis, including the contribution of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1), continue to elude the field. New findings support the involvement of the unfolded protein response and highlight the therapeutic potential and limitations of targeting ERAP1 in this disease. (Source: Nature Reviews Rheumatology)

Are the origins of adult arthritis seeded during embryonic development?
Nature Reviews Rheumatology, Published online: 31 January 2023; doi:10.1038/s41584-023-00911-xThe phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of synovial tissue fibroblasts are well described, whereas the cellular and molecular mechanisms that establish this diverse fibroblast repertoire in the adult joint have remained unclear. When is the fate of synovial fibroblast repertoire determined, and what are the consequences for arthritis development as adults? (Source: Nature Reviews Rheumatology)
