Out of Balance | Linda's life with RA

Linda Sloate is one of more than a million people in this country living with rheumatoid arthritis. RA is a disease in which the body’s immune system becomes out of balance and attacks joints. Linda and those like her are why researchers at the Allen Institute for Immunology come to work every day. They’re unravelling mysteries of the immune system to help patients.
