Improving dexamethasone drug loading and efficacy in treating rheumatoid arthritis via liposome: Focusing on inflammation and molecular mechanisms by Mohammad Yasin Zamanian, Hamidreza Zafari, Maria K. Osminina, Alla A. Skakodub, Raed Fanoukh Aboqader Al‐Aouadi, Maryam Golmohammadi, Nikta Nikbakht, Iman Fatemi

“…Dexamethasone (DEX) is a potent glucocorticoid used to treat RA due to its anti‐inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Liposomal delivery of DEX, particularly when liposomes are surface‐modified with targeting ligands like peptides or sialic acid, can improve drug efficacy by enhancing its distribution to inflamed joints and minimizing toxicity. …”
