The role of lactate on arthritis-associated cells: physiology, pathology, and therapeutic strategies

Key Points

• Lactate influences inflammation in arthritis-associated cells, affecting disease progression.
• Key evidence indicates that elevated lactate levels correlate with increased immune response in arthritis models.
• Assessment using immune cell analysis highlights lactate's effects on cell function and pathology in arthritis.
• Understanding the role of lactate may enable new therapeutic strategies for managing arthritis.
