Prospective study of 6 newly Dx RA pts starting MTX shows MTX causes a decline in T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and plasmablasts (@ wk 3 before clin response), selectively in responders but not nonresponders. MTX shifts cellular & gene expression towards a more physiological https://t.co/scmfAAE9XA

From BiTE to TriTE: Progress of T-cell Engagers in RMDs
At EULAR 2026 in London, T-cell engagers drew attention as a strategy to achieve deep B-cell depletion and drug-free remission in refractory RMDs. BiTEs offer off-the-shelf availability, reversible toxicity from short https://t.co/jjXrf9tcaA

How many CAR-T’s do we need to test drive?
There were 93 abstracts with CAR-T in title at #EULAR2026! Additionally, there was an excellent review (WIN) by Dr. Hector Chinoy. We know lots but have more questions.

Usual testing for SSA (Ro) pos. in Sjogrens identifies both Ro52 + Ro60 Abs, found in 70% of SjD. Pts who are double pos (Ro52+Ro60) have more severe dz, more Bcell activity. Ro60+ have milder dz; Recent report shows SjD pts have Ro60-specific CD4 T cells, activating Bcells https://t.co/SqoLICHOkS
