CULTURES OF FIBROBLAST-LIKE SYNOVIAL CELLS FROM PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: PROPERTIES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The present review contains data from literature concerning the in vivo structure of synovial membranes in healthy people and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The properties of in vitro cultured fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) from RA patients are considered, including FLS morphology, p...

The present review contains data from literature concerning the in vivo structure of synovial membranes in healthy people and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
