Eric Boilard։ How Platelets Can Promote Disease in Autoantibody-Mediated Inflammatory Conditions
Eric Boilard, Full Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Faculty of Medicine at Université Laval, Researcher at the CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research Centre, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:
”In this study by Bellio, Allaeys, and a fantastic team of collaborators, we demonstrate how platelets can promote disease in inflammatory conditions involving autoantibodies, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
We are deeply grateful to all the investigators and patients who contributed to this work.
