Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and University of California San Diego have developed immunomodulatory polymer nanoparticles (Agg-CLNP) capable of slowing disease progression and reducing flare severity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mouse models. These nanoparticles provide an off-the-shelf, cost-effective approach avoiding generalized immunosuppression, potentially offering improved therapies for RA patients and preclinical disease prevention. Parallel studies highlight innovative nanoflower metallic nanoparticles aimed at neuroprotection and mitochondrial health, further expanding the scope of nanoparticle-based biomedical applications.
