Advancing precision and predictive medicine in rheumatoid arthritis
By Susan Murphy 
By Alumni Magazine Most patients who are diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis respond to either the first or second line of drug therapies. However, some patients try multiple drugs without improve ment in their condition. It can take as long as two years of suffering, disease progression and expense before landing on a medication they respond to. […]

Mayo Clinic researchers use AI, biomarkers to personalize rheumatoid arthritis treatment
By Susan Murphy
By Emily Blahnik Treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis have often relied on trial and error. Now Mayo Clinic researchers are exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and pharmacogenomics to predict how patients will respond to treatments, and to personalize care. Findings were published in Arthritis Care & Research. The study focused on predicting the […]

Mayo researchers link gut microbiome to rheumatoid arthritis prognosis
By Susan Murphy
A significant indicator of whether a patient with rheumatoid arthritis will improve over the course of disease may lie in part in their gut, according to new research from Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine. The study, published in Genome Medicine, found that predicting a patient’s future rheumatoid arthritis prognosis could be possible by zeroing in […]

Mayo researchers develop algorithm to predict rheumatoid arthritis disease activity
By Susan Murphy
Researchers within Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine and Division of Rheumatology have developed a first-of-its-kind machine learning algorithm that can predict rheumatoid arthritis disease activity in a patient. The algorithm analyzes biochemical metabolites ― the product of the body’s metabolism ― in blood. “Having fast, reliable and scalable measures for predicting the clinical course […]

Military Health System honors Mayo researcher for breakthrough discoveries in rheumatoid arthritis
By Sharon Rosen
Rheumatoid arthritis is one of those debilitating diseases that had long mystified researchers. With few clues and limited understanding of what’s also called RA, the medical community had few treatment options to offer more than 1.5 million Americans who suffer from painful, swollen and stiff joints caused by this chronic inflammatory disorder. That is until […]

Genetic testing for earlier diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
By Sharon Rosen
If you are one of the estimated 1.5 million Americans who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, you know about the painful, swollen and stiff joints that are common symptoms of this chronic inflammatory disorder. Mayo Clinic has been a leader in discovering biomarkers – indicators of health and disease – that link rheumatoid arthritis to the […]

Microbiome Biomarker Found that Triggers Rheumatoid Arthritis
By Jeff Briggs 
Call it a gut reaction. Doctors don’t know what triggers the body’s immune system to attack the joints that cause rheumatoid arthritis, but Veena Taneja, Ph.D., an immunologist at the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine, has long suspected a link between the trillions of microbes living and working inside our digestive systems and the […]
