Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: There is increasing evidence that the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) plays an important role in controlling cell differentiation, and that PPARgamma ligands can modify inflammatory and fibrotic responses. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of PPARgamma in a mouse model of skin scleroderma, in which mice bearing a fibroblast-specific...
