Mechanisms that drive the chronicity of RA. Distinct pathways combine to mediate failed resolution of disease – these include adaptive, innate and stromal components with additional impact of the systemic features of disease. The latter may be both consequence of the chronic inflammation or could promote the chronicity e.g. via creation of pro-inflammatory lipid profiles, promotion of bone remodeling and secondary osteoarthritis.
