In this Review, Dr. Andrew Brown describes the diverse applications and advantages of this imaging modality in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis in the clinic.

Current approaches to bone regeneration at the level of the scaffold, cells, and growth factors are described, and the advantages and limitation of each approach are identified. Cell-free and cell-based approaches for bone regeneration

This article reviews the available evidence on the effects of infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept and rituximab on atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease risk.

In rheumatoid arthritis, the synovium is a site of active interplay between immune cells and bone cells, in which, as outlined in this Review, osteoclasts are stimulated by cytokines and molecules, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand, to mediate structural damage.
