Quantitative nanohistological investigation of scleroderma: An atomic force microscopy-based approach to disease characterization [PDF]
Scleroderma (or systemic sclerosis, SSc) is a disease caused by excess crosslinking of collagen. The skin stiffens and becomes painful, while internally, organ function can be compromised by the less elastic collagen.

Revolutionizing Autoimmune Research: The Role of Caveolin‐1
ABSTRACT Introduction Caveolins (Cav) include Cav‐1, Cav‐2, and Cav‐3, with Cav‐1 being the most studied due to its prominent role as a major component of plasma membrane caveolae. Cav‐1 is involved in a wide range of cellular functions and plays a key role in regulating signaling pathways related to immune responses and inflammation.

Localized scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder [PDF]
There have been many studies suggesting that localized scleroderma has a strong autoimmune background, although the lesions are usually limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Here we summarize previous data on the autoimmunity of localized scleroderma, mostly published in the last two decades, because there has not been a review paper summarizing

Protein kinase Cδ and c-Abl kinase are required for transforming growth factor β induction of endothelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The origin of the mesenchymal cells responsible for the intimal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been fully identified. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether subendothelial mesenchymal cells may emerge through ...
