2020-10-16
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>Consistently with their diagnostic and prognostic value, autoantibodies specific for systemic sclerosis (SSc) embedded in immune complexes (ICs) elicited a pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cascade in healthy skin fibroblasts, engaging Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) via their nucleic acid components. The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenicity o...
