First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at skin and blood samples from 40 people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) to understand why the disease causes scarring. Researchers will analyze individual cells to see how different types of fibroblasts and immune cells behave. The goal is to find new clues that could lead to better treatments in the future.
