Application of nanomaterials in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, which mainly causes inflammation of the synovial joints and destruction of cartilage and bone tissue. At present, a variety of clinical drugs have been applied in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. With the development of nanotechnology, more and more nano-drugs have been applied in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis due to the unique physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials. Treatment of RA with nanomaterials can improve bioavailability and selectively target damaged joint tissue. In this review, we summarized the progress of the application of nanomaterials in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and also proposed challenges faced by nanomaterials in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
