Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rheumatic diseases are a diverse group of autoimmune disorders that primarily affect the joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, and ankylosing spondylitis, are chronic diseases that cause a dysregulation of the immune system. Different types of rheumatic diseases are associated with a wide array of clinical manifestations and complex pathogeneses.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to encourage researchers to share their latest research and to summarize the recent advances in clinical and pathologic aspects of the rheumatic disease. We invite authors to submit original articles and review articles focusing on pertinent topics and new advances in rheumatic diseases.
