Myeloid related protein induces muscle derived inflammatory mediators in juvenile dermatomyositis
23 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The aetiopathogenesis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) remains poorly understood. In particular the contribution of monocytes or macrophages, which are frequently observed to be an infiltrate within muscle tissue very early in the disease process, is unknown.
