A synovial membrane-on-chip studying the development of rheumatoid arthritis in a triple culture system

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common disease characterized by, amongst others, synovial inflammation. We successfully established a triple co-culture with human synovial fibroblasts, macrophages and endothelial cells to mimic the synovial membrane of articulating joints. We next demonstrated that macrophages were integrated in the fibroblast layer and that, provided biochemical stimulation, it was possible to trigger an immune response resembling rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
