    Background

    Mesenchymal cells and subsets of T cells interact in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium leading to the local production of inflammatory cytokines. These high levels suggest a defect in the regulation of cytokine secretion, but the respective contribution of Th1 and Th17 cells remains to be clarified.

    Objectives

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to play a role in the regulation of the immune response and are present …
