Rheumatoid arthritis--a molecular understanding.

Abstract excerpt

The application of molecular immunology techniques in the study of rheumatoid arthritis has resulted in an explosion of knowledge on the risk factors for the disease, predictors of disease severity, the molecular mechanisms of inflammatory responses, and mechanisms of tissue destruction. We know, for example, that inheriting certain genes in the major histocompatibility complex partly dictates susceptibility and...
