Impact of Age and Autoantibody Status on the Gene Expression of Scleroderma Fibroblasts in Response to Silica Stimulation
Environmental factors are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Silica exposure has been implicated as potentially hazardous in epidemiological studies of SSc. It can activate fibroblasts to express profibrotic genes at certain conditions. The aim of thi...
