Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objective</h4> The lungs of patients with Systemic Sclerosis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) contain inflammatory myofibroblasts arising in association with fibrotic stimuli and perturbed innate immunity. The innate immune DNA binding receptor Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is implicated in inflammation and fibrosis, but its involvement in SSc-ILD remains unknown. We examined...
