Our study is the first to investigate a panel of 84 genes related to Th17 regulatory pathway in Arab SLE subjects and the first to explore the effect of current immunosuppression regimens on Th17 regulatory pathway. It paves the way for understanding the etiology of SLE and autoimmune diseases in general.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
