Experts now think bacteria found in the gut and mouth can affect the immune system, causing a host of crippling inflammatory conditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ground-breaking British-led research will now investigate the link in the hope of finding life changing dietary therapies in five years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The multi-million pound study will analyse trillions of gut microbes in the hope that diseases like rheumatoid <a href="http://go.ad2up.com/afu.php?id=451019" rel="tag nofollow" target="_blank" title="Arthritis">arthritis</a> can be tackled by treating its causes rather than its symptoms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arthritis Research UK has already contributed £2million towards the landmark project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scientists are confident it could lead to the development of preventative medicines or methods of treatment, which could be as straightforward as changing the way we eat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Previous studies have shown the possibility of <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/eating-nuts-fish-and-veg-eases-pain-of.html" rel="tag" target="_blank" title="Arthritis pain relief">arthritis pain relief in foods such as fish, nuts, vegetables and spices</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tinned sardines, Brazil nuts, mushrooms, cherries, tumeric, ginger, broccoli, kale and garlic all possess potent properties that help keep the condition at bay.</div>

Oleocanthal, a molecule found in extra virgin olive oil, has similar antiinflammatory properties to ibuprofen.</div>

BRCA1 - popularly known as the Angelina Jolie gene - is a tumour-suppressing gene because of its ability to guide the repair of damaged DNA.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The gene is mutated in 15-20 per cent of ovarian cancer cases and carriers of the deficiency are predisposed to the potentially deadly disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A mutation of the BRCA1 gene can also increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.</div>

Ms Jolie underwent a double mastectomy and had her ovaries removed after learning she had carried a gene mutation linked to breast and ovarian cancers.</div>

Awadhesh Jha, Professor of Toxicology and Associate Head (Research) in the School of Biological Sciences said: “Using drugs such as Auranofin to treat cancer is highly promising since they are readily available and their pharmacological and toxicological properties are well documented. </div>

Eat fish to LOWER arthritis risk

CONSUMING more omega-3 fatty acids could lower the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to new research. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fatty acids, found in fish and fish-oil supplements, are effective in halting the autoimmune response thought to cause RA. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Health experts believe that autoantibodies mistakenly target the tissues around the joints, causing them to get inflamed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This inflammation causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints. </div>

During the study, researchers discovered those with autoantibodies for RA were “significantly more likely” to have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The researchers were then led to believe omega-3 lowers the risk of this type of arthritis by halting development before symptoms appeared.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two omega-3 fatty acids in particular, DHA and EPA, are thought to suppress an immune protein that regulates the intensity and duration of the faulty immune response. </div>

SCIENTISTS have revealed a highly accurate test that detects the crippling condition SIXTEEN years before it takes hold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A simple blood test is enough to predict rheumatoid arthritis (RA) 16 years prior to someone developing the painful condition, scientists from Oxford University have found.</div>

The autoimmune condition occurs when your immune system breaks down and turns against itself, attacking the body’s tissues. </div>

Kim Midwood, professor at Oxford's Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology said: "What is particularly exciting is that when we looked at samples taken from people before their arthritis began, we could see these antibodies to cTNC up to 16 years before the disease occurred - on average the antibodies could be found seven years before the disease appeared.” </div>

"This discovery therefore gives us an additional test that can be used to increase the accuracy of the CCP assay and that can predict RA, enabling us to monitor people and spot the disease early. This early detection is key because early treatment is more effective.” </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scientists have developed a pioneering way to deliver drugs directly into cartilage – tissue previously believed to be impenetrable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The treatment uses tiny particles of a patient’s own cells to carry the “payload” into affected joints.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It would require only one day in hospital every three months and would not cause the side-effects associated with other therapies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Announcing the breakthrough, Professor Mauro Perretti, of Queen Mary University of London, said: “Cartilage has long been thought to be impenetrable to cells and other small structures leading to strong limitations in our abilities to deliver therapies for arthritis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“To our surprise we have now discovered vesicles [tiny fluid-filled sacs] released from white blood cells can ‘travel’ into the cartilage and deliver their cargo. They also have a protective effect on cartilage affected by arthritis.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new technique has worked in experiments on mice and human cells.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Further analysis is now needed before medical trials can begin but the treatment could be available in clinics in five years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At least 8.5 million Britons suffer from osteoarthritis, the most common form, which is caused by wear and tear on joints where the cartilage that cushions movement is worn away.</div>
