This article reviews the different techniques, clinical applications, and the latest advances in translational research as well as current challenges and perspectives. The first part focuses on different techniques available for biopsy, along with their feasibility, success rate, tolerance, and training requirements. In the second part, clinical applications are described. Data on diagnostic performances are reported, especially regarding septic arthritis. Translational research applications are described and explained in the final part, from the early histological studies and the first description of pathotype to more recent technologies involving -omics. Latest developments involving single-cell RNA sequence analysis have allowed the discovery of new cell subpopulations with remarkable roles in RA pathophysiology. These studies pave the ground for the discovery of new therapeutic targets and the implementation of personalized therapy in RA.\n                    <jats:table-wrap>\n                      <jats:table>\n                        <jats:tbody>\n                          <jats:tr>\n                            <jats:td colspan=\"2\">\n                              <jats:bold>Key Point<\/jats:bold>\n                              <jats:bold>\u2022<\/jats:bold>\n                              <jats:italic>This review provides an overview of synovial biopsy techinques and applications especially in clinical and translational research.<\/jats:italic>\n                            <\/jats:td>\n                          <\/jats:tr>\n                        <\/jats:tbody>\n                      <\/jats:table>\n                    <\/jats:table-wrap>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10067-020-05512-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,3]],"date-time":"2020-12-03T20:02:40Z","timestamp":1607025760000},"page":"2593-2600","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Synovial biopsies in clinical practice and research: current developments and perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1916-6222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanna","family":"Johnsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6008-503X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aur\u00e9lie","family":"Najm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"5512_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"434","DOI":"10.1007\/s100670050134","volume":"18","author":"D Baeten","year":"1999","unstructured":"Baeten D, Van den Bosch F, Elewaut D, Stuer A, Veys EM, De Keyser F (1999) Needle arthroscopy of the knee with synovial biopsy sampling: technical experience in 150 patients.
