Chemokines: role in inflammation and immune surveillance.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:FoxO3a is a transcriptional factor implicated in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Since rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with apoptosis defects, the expression level, regulation and phosphorylation status of FoxO3a was investigated in blood and synovium from patients with RA. METHODS:In microarray...
