## Abstract ## Objective A hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is invasion of the synovial pannus into cartilage, and this process requires degradation of the collagen matrix. The aim of this study was to explore the role of one of the collagenβdegrading matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), membran
## 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
