Wilforlide A ameliorates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with increased M1 macrophages. The classical activated M1 macrophages produce various cytokines to control inflammation. Wilforlide A is a natural product that displays anti-inflammatory activities. However, the effect of Wilforlide A on RA progress...
