Rho-GTPase pathways may differentiate treatment response to TNF-alpha and IL-17A inhibitors in psoriatic arthritis

Abstract Biological therapies have dramatically improved the therapeutic landscape of psoriatic arthritis (PsA); however, 40–50% of patients are primary non-responders with response rates declining significantly with each successive biological therapy. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop...
