## Abstract ## Objective To find evidence for the presence of endothelial precursor cells, which can induce new vessel formation, in the synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). ## Methods Precursor cells in the synovial tissue of 18 RA patients and 15
The cellular infiltrates and cytokine patterns in synovial tissue (ST) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and reactive arthritis (ReA) were compared in order to determine the mechanisms responsible for the chronic and destructive course of RA. Since the results could be influenced by diffe
## Abstract ## Objective Antibodies directed toward citrullinated proteins (e.g., antiβcyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies) are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are produced locally at the site of inflammation. Although the presence of citrullinated proteins in rheumatoid syno
