Description

Translational Autoimmunity: Advances in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases, Volume Six addresses autoimmune diseases classified under the category of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases are heterogeneous groups of disorders in which inflammation affects not only joints, but also tendons, ligaments and bones. This updated release focuses on immunopathogenesis and clinical and laboratory details of rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome, and will be of interest to researchers, students and clinicians interested in autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatic diseases.

From an introduction to rheumatic diseases to diagnostic laboratory tests, and from the microbiota-immunity to cell-based therapies, the bench to bedside approach to rheumatic diseases is the main subject of discussion in this comprehensive resource.

Key features

  • Gives an introduction on rheumatic diseases, from bench to bedside
  • Describes diagnostic laboratory tests in rheumatic diseases
  • Meets the needs of basic scientists, clinicians and translational scientists and industry partners
  • Focuses on immunopathogenesis and clinical and laboratory details of rheumatic diseases
