Research grant awarded to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to study the interaction between synoviocytes and endothelial cells in rheumatoid arthritis, aiming to develop targeted therapies.
Description
This grant supports research into cellular mechanisms underlying rheumatoid arthritis, with potential for developing targeted therapeutics. The project aims to demonstrate the process of cross talk between synoviocytes and endothelial cells in rheumatoid arthritis joints and mouse models, with the long-term goal of designing novel therapeutics against this mechanism to help control RA.
