Selective deletion of PPARβ/δ in fibroblasts causes dermal fibrosis by attenuated LRG1 expression. [PDF]
Connective tissue diseases of the skin are characterized by excessive collagen deposition in the skin and internal organs. Fibroblasts play a pivotal role in the clinical presentation of these conditions.

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 ...

RNA modification is crucial in fibrosis diseases, but the role of m1A modification remains elusive. This study reveals that ALKBH3, an m1A demethylase, drives skin fibrosis by reshaping m6A RNA modification and stabilizing COL1A1 and FN1 mRNAs through METTL3, uncovering a crosstalk between m1A and m6A methylation in pathological events.

Blocking CD248 molecules in perivascular stromal cells of patients with systemic sclerosis strongly inhibits their differentiation toward myofibroblasts and proliferation: A new potential target for antifibrotic therapy [PDF]
Background: Fibrosis may be considered the hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc), the end stage triggered by different pathological events. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) are profibrotic molecules ...

Juvenile Localized Scleroderma. Questions of Treatment
Juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS) is a group of childhood diseases with the main symptom — skin and subcutaneous structures lesions, without any organ involvement. There is active (inflammatory) and fibrotic phase in development of JLS.

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.
