Excerpt

For two decades, Th1 cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. This notion has been challenged by the discovery of IL-23 and Th17 cells as key players in mouse inflammatory disease models. Furthermore, recent genome wide association studies have found a strong association between spondylarthropathy (SpA, a group of chronic inflammatory rheumatisms) and the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms at the IL-23R locus. …
