Is the vasculature a potential therapeutic target in arthritis?
- Abstract:
-
The vasculature fulfils a gatekeeper role in cell recruitment, through expression of leukocyte activators and chemoattractants, as well as adhesion molecules. Endothelial cells also play a role in the growth of new blood vessels ('angiogenesis'), which are vital for efficient supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissue.
