RA is a heterogeneous clinical and pathobiological entity. Specific pathways within synovial
tissues are emerging as associated with diverse clinical evolution and therapeutic
response/resistance that, if confirmed in randomized clinical trials, may lead to the
development of synovial tissue analysis as a potential clinical tool for patient stratification.
