Advances in biomarkers for paediatric rheumatic diseases Alessandro Consolaro, Giulia C. Varnier, Alberto Martini & Angelo Ravelli Published online: 16 December 2014 p265 | doi:10.1038/nrrheum.2014.208 Promising biomarkers are being developed to predict disease outcome and response to therapy in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, childhood lupus nephritis and juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. These advances are expected to facilitate risk stratification, diagnosis and management of these patients, and thereby lead to more rational and effective clinical care.

Rheumatoid arthritis therapy reappraisal: strategies, opportunities and challenges Josef S. Smolen & Daniel Aletaha Published online: 17 February 2015 p276 | doi:10.1038/nrrheum.2015.8 Targeted therapies and novel strategies to optimize their use enable many patients with RA to achieve a state of low disease activity or even remission, which can be maintained even after tapering or withdrawal of biologic DMARDs. In this article, Smolen and Aletaha review current concepts of RA treatment and the clinical evidence for their effectiveness, in the context of relevant issues such as factors influencing response to therapy, the 'window of opportunity' hypothesis and definitions of treatment targets.
