Videoradiographic analysis of the range of motion in unilateral experimental knee joint arthritis in rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Synovial fibroblasts play a key role in joint destruction and regulation of the inflammatory infiltrate in established rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The mechanisms by which this occurs in the earliest stages of RA are largely unknown. We investigated the role of Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) produced by syn...
