Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease characterised by progressive fibrosis driven by fibroblast activation. Primary cilia, key hubs for profibrotic signalling, are markedly shortened in SSc fibroblasts, but the mechanisms underlying this phenotype remain unclear. This study aimed to define the signalling pathways responsible for primary cilia shortening and fibroblast activation in...
