Metallothionein‐1 suppresses rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis by shifting the Th17/Treg balance
29 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
It is now well accepted that an imbalance between the Th17 and regulatory T-cell responses is closely associated with the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the precise regulatory mechanism for the differentiation of Th17 and Treg in RA is not well characterized.
