Pregnancy's hidden clues: could MicroRNAs explain arthritis and lupus flares?
NCT ID NCT02350491
First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looked at 50 pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to see if changes in microRNAs (tiny molecules that control genes) during pregnancy are linked to disease activity. Researchers collected blood, urine, and placenta samples to understand why RA often improves during pregnancy while SLE can flare up. The goal was to find new biomarkers and potential treatment targets for these autoimmune diseases.
