Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study determines the phenotypic and functional characteristics that define distinct fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) populations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) vs psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS: Single-cell RNA sequencing and multiparametric flow cytometry analysis (21 markers) were performed on RA and PsA synovial cell suspensions to determine FLS phenotype/function. Podoplanin (PDPN)+ FLS...
