T-regulatory cells-Triumph of perseverance : The Crafoord Prize for Polyarthritis in 2017

Wollheim, Frank A. LU (2017) In Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism 47(4). p.601-603
Abstract

The Crafoord Prize in Polyarthritis ranks as one of the most prestigious prizes and can be awarded only if the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences decides the likelihood of prize worthy progress in the field, and at most every 4th year. This has happened only four times since 1982. This year the 5th Laureates were Shimon Sakaguchi, Fred Ramsdell, and Alexander Rudensky with the motivation "for their discoveries relating to regulatory T cells, which counteract harmful immune reactions in arthritis and other autoimmune diseases". Here I review the history of their contributions and its impact in rheumatology.
