A new research has found why B-cells in rheumatoid arthritis produce protein antibodies that attack the healthy proteins of the body. B-cells are also known as white blood cells.

He further added We anticipate that these data will serve as a foundational data set for investigating multiple hypotheses on the roles of B cells in RA and other autoimmune disorders and
