## Abstract ## Objective To study the capacity of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) to regulate proliferation, apoptosis, and p53 in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) from humans with RA. ## Methods Antigen‐induced arthritis (AIA) w
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was originally described as a T-cell-derived lymphokine with the potential to inhibit the random migration of macrophages. However, recent reports have shown a much broader tissue distribution, including the skin. Functionally, MIF appears to act as an an
## Abstract Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a protein that is overexpressed in many tumors, such as colon and prostate cancer, melanoma, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In its function as a cytokine, MIF induces angiogenesis, promotes cell cycle progression, and inhibits apoptosi
