Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – one of the most serious human diseases, the basis which is chronic proliferative synovitis, damage to internal organs and systems (vasculitis or granulomas), with long-term persistence of inflammation and the gradual destruction of the structures of the joints and periarticular tissues. During the first 5 years of the disease, more than 40% of RA patients still become disabled [1]. In addition, many authors report
that RA reduces the life expectancy of patients by an average of 10 years [2, 3]. In connection with the above data, the search for new approaches in the treatment of RA is very urgent.
