Rheumatoid Arthritis
 - Cell Therapy Approaches

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, systemic inflammatory disease that primarily affects synovial joints, but may affect other organs as well.

Cell Therapy Approaches


Cell therapy utilizing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may bring relief to RA patients by its immunomodulatory effects on inflammation and autoimmunity. Cell therapy utilizing dendritic cells, as an immunotherapeutic tool for reinstating immune tolerance in RA and other autoimmune diseases is another promising treatment alternative.
