[HTML][HTML] NF-κB: a key role in inflammatory diseases

PP Tak, GS Firestein - The Journal of clinical investigation, 2001 - Am Soc Clin Investig
NF-κB in defense and disease serine residues. Phosphorylated IκBα is then ubiquitinated,
which targets it for degradation by the 26S proteasome (13), thereby releasing NF-κB dimers …

[PDF][PDF] Immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis

GS Firestein, IB McInnes - Immunity, 2017 - cell.com
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthropathy. The majority of
evidence, derived from genetics, tissue analyses, models, and clinical studies, points to an …

Defining inflammatory cell states in rheumatoid arthritis joint synovial tissues by integrating single-cell transcriptomics and mass cytometry

…, PK Gregersen, L Moreland, GS Firestein… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
To define the cell populations that drive joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we

Duality of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in RA: passive responders and imprinted aggressors

N Bottini, GS Firestein - Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2013 - nature.com
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by hyperplastic synovial pannus tissue, which
mediates destruction of cartilage and bone. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are a key …

Restoring synovial homeostasis in rheumatoid arthritis by targeting fibroblast-like synoviocytes

G Nygaard, GS Firestein - Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2020 - nature.com
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated disease that primarily affects the
synovium of diarthrodial joints. During the course of RA, the synovium transforms into a …
