Our study demonstrated these corpuscules in the PIP Proper Collateral Ligament for the first time. Supposedly acting as mechanoreceptors, they may also produce cytokines and substance P, a neuropeptide involved in pain. As the PIP joints of fingers in particular show symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis at very early stages, these organs may therefore play a role in the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. | Notes: | Presentation A-20, 12.35 - 14.00 h | Keywords: | joint morphogenesis; synovial folds; rheumatoid arthritis; neurofilaments | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/17730 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.uhasselt.be/UH/microFIBR-2014-Algemeen/microFIBR-2014-Algemeen-Poster-session.html | Rights: | University of Hasselt, Diepenbeek, Belgium | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
