| Popis: |
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the exocrine glands and can lead to various systemic symptoms impacting multiple organs. Despite its common occurrence, treatment options for SS have been largely limited, primarily focusing on alleviating symptoms rather than addressing the underlying autoimmune causes. A shift towards personalized medicine leads to the development of new therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting specific molecular pathways implicated in SS. Innovations in biologics are paving the way for inhibiting particular cytokines or cell surface molecules directly involved in the autoimmune mechanism. Furthermore, advancements in regenerative medicine, including the promising field of stem cell therapy, offer the potential for restoring or replacing the impaired salivary and lacrimal glands, providing hope for a more permanent resolution to this condition. This review encompasses cutting-edge treatment strategies for SS, spanning clinical and preclinical drugs to the latest treatment technology. Such advancements promise to drive targeted therapy development and inspire innovative ideas for treatment paradigms in SS. |
