Defining key advances in any medical discipline can be challenging, but is especially so in rheumatology—a rapidly advancing field so broad that it defies traditional classifications. Here, we approach the Sisyphean task of summarizing the translational advances in rheumatology in the past decade within several broad categories of basic research.
