SSC-ILD mouse model induced by osmotic minipump delivered bleomycin: effect of Nintedanib
Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by an excessive production and accumulation of collagen in the skin and internal organs often associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Its pathogenetic mechanisms are unknown and the lack of animal models mimicking the...
