At the Dresden Symposium on Autoantibodies 2025, Daniela Sieghart presented on biomarkers for RA treatment response, highlighting EU projects @squeezeproject.bsky.social
& @autopix.bsky.social. Our division drives precision medicine forward, tailoring care through innovative biomarkers.

New in Journal of Autoimmunity: our study on FAPI PET/CT in myositis-related ILD, led by Kastriot Kastrati & Peter Mandl. Findings show FAPI uptake predicts progression better than standard tools, promising step for personalized care. 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

📢 New from our Division of Rheumatology: Peter Mandl on the expanding role of ultrasound in rheumatology - beyond joints to glands, vessels, lungs & muscles. Real-time, radiation-free imaging for diagnosis & management. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgOO...

Stärkerer Placeboeffekt bei Ärmeren Der Placeboeffekt und die sozioökonomische Lebensrealität hängen laut Untersuchungen der Wiener MedUni zusammen. In Studien aus ärmeren Ländern reagieren die Probanden und Probandinnen stärker auf das...

Our study on how global recruitment patterns affect placebo response in RA trials has gained broad Austrian media coverage (ORF, NÖN, SN & more). Great to see interest in how trial design impacts fair evaluation of new therapies! 🔗 science.orf.at/stories/3231...

Two new papers from our division show that recruiting RA & PsA trial patients in less affluent regions increase placebo rates - likely from limited treatment access. Trial design must adapt.
