Blood vessels may be targets of the immune system in patients with scleroderma

Blood vessels may be targets of the immune system in patients with scleroderma

Scleroderma patients with autoantibodies against centromere proteins and/or IFI16 have a higher risk of severe vascular complications. In this study, we show that expression of these autoantigens is enriched in vascular progenitors and mature endothelial cells.
