    Evidence for M2 macrophage activation in patients with enthesitis-related arthritis category of juvenile idiopathic arthritis

    Recently, an increase in CD163+ macrophages in ileal biopsies from ankylosing spondylitis patients and an increase in intermediate monocytes in enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) have been reported. Thus, we stud...

    Tenascin-C, a biomarker of disease activity in early ankylosing spondylitis

    Monocytes of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) over-express toll-like receptor (TLR) 4. Tenascin-C (TNC) is an endogenous TLR4 ligand. Thus, we studied the serum and synovial fluid levels of TNC in AS....
