The enthesis is the region at the junction between tendon and bone and has been suggested to be a key target in spondyloarthritic diseases. This zone is now shown to contain a unique population of resident T cells, which, when activated by the cytokine interleukin-23 (IL-23), can promote pathogenesis that is characteristic of spondyloarthritis (pages 1069-1076).
