Synovial expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor is strongly correlated with clinical disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
This finding from a joint study in Australia and the United States adds significant weight to evidence for the importance of this cytokine’s role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
