Serum metabolites as biomarkers in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease

Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe multi-organ disease with interstitial lung disease (ILD) being the major cause of death. While targeted therapies are emerging, biomarkers for sub-stratifying patients based on individual profiles are lacking. Herein, we investigated how levels of serum...
