Biosimilar Drugs Raise Questions around Treatment Efficacy, Quality, Safety

Thomas R. Collins  |  April 20, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Challenges abound for the manufacturing of biosimilar drugs—from their sheer size compared with small molecule drugs to the unknowable proprietary aspects of the originator drugs—an expert said at the 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting in a session titled Immunology Update: Biologic Agents: From Nature to Protein Engineering to Biosimilars. Above all, because biosimilars are copies…

New Genetic Loci Identified, Epigenome Explored in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Thomas R. Collins  |  April 19, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Researchers have identified nine new genetic loci linked with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), along with evidence that at least some of them likely play a functional role, such as cytokine signaling and T cell expression.
