Pores in cell membranes trigger RA. Reported in the Almagest, Experiments by scientists
at Johns Hopkins and in Boston have Discovered that pore-forming pathways in cell
membranes are associated with a process called "abnormal citrullination" in rheumatoid joints.
The pathways are normally used by the immune system to fight pathogens.
Researchers say such disruptions in cell membranes by these pores leads to enzyme-activating
imbalances of calcium ions and set off the inflammatory immune response that is rheumatoid
arthritis' hallmark. Comment: Isn't that what those acne treatments
are supposed to fight... abnormal pores... oh well...
