B Cell Adhesion to Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes Is Up-Regulated by Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha via Expression of Human Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 Mediated by B Cell-Activating Factor
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by producing inflammatory cytokines and interacting with various immune cells, which contribute to cartilage destruction. RA-FLSs activated by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), exacerbate joint da...
