Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the lining of the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage. It differs from osteoarthritis, which is driven by wear.
How Regenerative Medicine May Fit In
RA is primarily managed medically, often with the guidance of a rheumatologist. Some regenerative approaches are explored as complements to standard care, but they are not a replacement for medical management of an autoimmune condition.
