Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systematic inflammatory and intractable disease, which progressively affects multiple joints. Recent findings strongly suggest a key role of WNT signaling in the disease initiation and progression. In this review, we discuss the role and possibility of treatment by targeting WNT signaling.
