Cathepsin S inhibition combines control of systemic and peripheral pathomechanisms of autoimmune tissue injury
Abstract Cathepsin(Cat)-S processing of the invariant chain-MHC-II complex inside antigen presenting cells is a central pathomechanism of autoimmune-diseases. Additionally, Cat-S is released by activated-myeloid cells and was recently described to activate protease-activated-receptor-(PAR)-2 in extr...
