Scientists from Osaka University in Japan have discovered a plant compound that blocks the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.. This is stated in the journal Science Immunology.. Scientists conducted an experiment on mice with rheumatoid arthritis. They suppressed the expression of a protein responsible for the development of the disease. This was done as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appeared in the experimental subjects.. After the development of the disease stopped, experts began to look for a substance to prevent its formation.. Celastrol proved to be the most suitable. " Tripterygium is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, although the mechanism of this action has not been fully understood..

The study showed that celastrol blocks the antibody response and stops the development of rheumatoid arthritis.. According to them, celastrol could potentially be used for Crohn's disease or type 1 diabetes.. Earlier, Briton Nick Chappelow suffered from a rare and painful form of arthritis for 25 years.. He was saved by a dietary supplement that proved to be an effective medicine.. Scientists have invented a vaccine against rheumatoid arthritis.
