Hardback. Focuses on therapeutic targets that were identified after TNF blockade. This book discusses the biological rationale in detail, including in vitro work and work in animal models, and where appropriate, results form clinical trials. It is of interest to rheumatologists, immunologists, internists, and investigators in immunology and rheumatology. Editor(s): Tak, Paul-Peter. Series: Progress in Inflammation Research.

During the past decades important breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). First, the implementation of low-dose methotrexate and other conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs was introduced as an effective treatment. Second, it was recognized that early immunomodu- tory treatment is crucial for controlling the disease and its long-term destructive effects more effectively. Parallel advances in research on the pathogenesis of RA and cytokine biology converged in identifying tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as a key factor in inflammation and matrix destruction. The concept arose that elevated TNF concentrations at the sites of inflammation were driving disease pathology, ... Read more
