The calcitonin and glucocorticoids combination: mechanistic insights into their class-effect synergy in experimental arthritis.

INTRODUCTION: Previous work reported the anti-arthritic synergy afforded by combining calcitonin (CT) and glucocorticoids (GC). Here we focus on the pairing of elcatonin (eCT) and dexamethasone (Dex), querying whether: i) this was a class-effect action; ii) mechanistic insights could be unveiled; ii...
