Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition that mostly impacts the joints. During the advanced phases of the disorder, it may be accompanied by other problems. While the precise cause of RA is uncertain, various research has been conducted to gain a better understanding of the immunological processes involved in the development of RA. T cells are acknowledged as significant contributors to the progression of RA because of their roles in cytokine secretion, antigen presentation, and facilitating B cells in the manufacture of antibodies. γδ T cells are a small subset of T cells that have significant functions in the context of infection and diseases linked with tumors. γδ T cells have been the subject of investigation in autoimmune disorders in recent years. This review focused on the involvement of γδ T lymphocytes in the development of RA. In this article, we provide an analysis of the immunological capabilities of γδ T cells, intending to comprehend their significance in RA, which could be pivotal in the creation of innovative clinical treatments.
