Synovial Tissue Heterogeneity in Japanese Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Elucidated Using a Cell‐Type Deconvolution Approach

Arthritis RheumatolPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

This study adds insights into the synovial heterogeneity in East Asian patients and shows a promising link with predominant inflammatory signals.

Study context

Population
East Asian patients in Japan with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing articular surgery
Participants
