Loss of α2-6 sialylation promotes the transformation of synovial fibroblasts into a pro-inflammatory phenotype in Rheumatoid Arthritis
2020-03-09
Abstract excerpt
In healthy joints, synovial fibroblasts (SFs) provide the microenvironment required to mediate homeostasis but are recognized to adopt a pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), promoting the infiltration and activation of immune cells to perpetuate local inflammation, pain and joint destruction.
