Janus kinase–signal transducers and activators of transcription cell signaling in Spondyloarthritis: rationale and evidence for JAK inhibition

The Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling proteins represent a group of intracellular kinase molecules that play a central role in the signaling pathways induced by cytokines, chemokines, and certain growth factors associated with systemic and local inflammation of autoimmune diseases including in Spondyloarthritis (SpA). Here, we will discuss (i) the functional significance of the JAK-STAT kinase...
