   Fatigue in chronic inflammation - a link to pain pathways

   Fatigue is a frequent symptom in several inflammatory diseases, particularly in rheumatic diseases. Elements of disease activity and cognitive and behavior aspects have been reported as causes of fatigue in pa...

   Mass cytometry as a platform for the discovery of cellular biomarkers to guide effective rheumatic disease therapy

   The development of biomarkers for autoimmune diseases has been hampered by a lack of understanding of disease etiopathogenesis and of the mechanisms underlying the induction and maintenance of inflammation, wh...

   Polychromatic flow cytometry in evaluating rheumatic disease patients

   B cells are central players in multiple autoimmune rheumatic diseases as a result of the imbalance between pathogenic and protective B-cell functions, which are presumably mediated by distinct populations. Yet...

   T-cell metabolism in autoimmune disease

   Cancer cells have long been known to fuel their pathogenic growth habits by sustaining a high glycolytic flux, first described almost 90 years ago as the so-called Warburg effect. Immune cells utilize a simila...
