Efficacy and Safety Analysis of IL-17A/IL-17F Dual Inhibitors (e.g., Sonelokimab) in Psoriatic Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis Researchers developed sonelokimab as a nanobody. It blocks both IL-17A and IL-17F. These cytokines drive inflammation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). Dual inhibition offers stronger control than blocking IL-17A alone. Efficacy in Psoriatic Arthritis Doctors tested sonelokimab in […]
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune disorder. It combines features of several connective tissue diseases. Doctors often describe it as an overlap syndrome because it shows symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma), and Polymyositis. Key Features of MCTD MCTD is strongly associated with high […]
