Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DC) are innate immune effectors and are critically involved in regulating T cell immunity. Osteoclasts (OC) are bone-resorbing cells derived from the monocyte/macrophage lineage in response to receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL). DC and T cells form aggregates in the inflammatory infiltrates at active disease sites in human and in experimental rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. We...
