Purpose Of Review: The human body is the host of trillions of different prokaryotic microorganisms that colonize the skin and the mucosae. The interaction between human cells and these organisms is mediated by the immune system, sustaining a very complex and fragile balance. The immune cells need to prevent uncontrolled growth of pathogenic microbes and promote tolerance toward the existence of the beneficial ones. Growing evidence associates the disruption of this symbiotic relationship with the development of autoimmune diseases.
Recent Findings: Human studies led to the identification of gut dysbiosis patterns in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis. Interestingly, the inoculation of pathogenic bacteria in animal models was associated with the development of these autoimmune diseases.
Summary: A better understanding of the microbiota-human interaction will enable the development of novel treatment choices. Currently, new molecules using helminth compounds are under investigation and have already revealed promising results.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a highly prevalent debilitating condition linked to inflammation. The effectiveness of the present therapeutic techniques is constrained; so, there is an urgent requirement for a novel nanoplatform entailing drugs with proven efficacy. The current work highlighted the development of dexamethasone and luteolin co-encapsulated hyalurosomes (LUT-DEX hyalurosomes).

Article Synopsis
- The human microbiome consists of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi that impact health, with imbalances (dysbiosis) linked to diseases such as asthma and obesity.
- Current research is exploring how the gut microbiome specifically affects joint health and diseases like osteoarthritis through inflammatory responses triggered by dysbiosis.
- The review aims to enhance our understanding of the microbiome's role in disease and emphasizes the need for further studies on the joint microbiome's impact on conditions like periprosthetic joint infection.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease, and TL1A and its receptor DR3 play important roles in its pathogenesis. Th9 cells are involved in RA development. Dioscin from Dioscorea nipponica (DDN) has a therapeutic effect on RA, but its effect on TL1A/DR3 and Th9 cells remains unclear.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. This study aims to explore the potential mechanisms by which solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) influences RA development.
Methods: Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice were constructed to observe disease onset and pathological scores.

Recent years brought considerable attention to the connection between chronic stress and the development of autoimmune diseases. However, little is still known about the impact of prolonged stress reactions on the onset and course of primary Sjögren Syndrome (pSS). This study aimed to seek for associations between chronic stress, resulting from stressful life events, and pSS.
