A PERK-FOXO1 AXIS LINKS DNA DAMAGE TO FIBROBLAST SURVIVAL IN DIFFUSE CUTANEOUS SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS
2026-02-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) is a life-limiting fibrotic disease. We and others have shown that dcSSc fibroblasts accumulate numerous somatic mutations associated with senescence-like features; however, the mechanism(s) enabling their survival remain unclear. <h4>Methods</h4> Skin biopsies were obtained from lesional tissues from dcSSc (n=10), dcSSc treated with autologous hema...
