Characterizing Heterogeneity of Synovial Macrophages in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Macrophages in the synovial lining of the joint are critical players in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While they are potent producers of…Abstract Number: 0496 • ACR Convergence 2020
A Role of Lipid-Peroxidation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-Associated Cardiovascular Disease
