Do nurse-like cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis support the survival of osteoclast precursors via macrophage colony-stimulating factor production?
Our findings suggest that NLCs are involved in RA-induced bone destruction by maintaining osteoclast precursors via production of M-CSF.
PTLD is a rare but life-threatening condition. Although EBV plays a clear role in its pathogenesis, other associated viral infections could trigger this situation. Current therapies include rituximab, decreasing immunosuppressive drugs. and conventional chemotherapy.
