Abstract

Background and objectives

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an auto-inflammatory multisystem disease leading to fibrosis of the skin and inner organs. T lymphocytes are key effector cells in the affected tissue. The role of lymphocytes in the transition from inflammation to fibrosis is unclear. Previous data suggested a possible pro-fibrotic effect of tumour necrosis factor–receptor (TNF-R) 2.
