  • Microneedle patches deliver GLP-1RAs-loaded nanoparticles for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
  • GLP-1RAs inhibit chondrocyte ferroptosis via the cGAS-STING pathway and promote macrophage M2 polarization.
  • Cartilage-targeting silk fibroin nanoparticles modified with WYRGRL peptide enhance localized drug delivery.
  • Composite microneedle system enables painless transdermal delivery and accumulates in arthritic joints.
  • Study identifies cGAS-STING-ferroptosis as a druggable target and offers a new delivery platform for RA.
