Lymphatic imaging to assess rheumatoid flare: mechanistic insights and biomarker potential
Proliferation of draining lymphatic vessels coupled with dynamic changes in lymph node volume and flow are characteristic features in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Furthermore, impaired lymph egress from inflamed synovium is associated with joint flare in murine models of inflammatory-erosive arthritis. Unfortunately, advances towards a greater understanding of lymphatic changes in RA pathogenesis have been slow due to the absence of outcome measures to quantify lymphatic function in vivo. While lymphoscintigraphy is the current standard to assess lymphedema and sentinel lymph nodes in cancer pat... Mehr ...
