MONOCYTES STRONGLY INDUCE (MYO)FIBROBLAST CONTRACTION IN A NEW 3D SKIN MODEL TO UNDERSTAND THE INFLAMMATION-FIBROSIS AXIS IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS

Djúlio César Zanin-Silva, Nienke J T van Kooten, Theogiannis I. Papadimitriou…·A. van Caam

This study uses a 3D skin model to show that monocytes and macrophages induce myofibroblast contraction via JAK/STAT3 and TGF-β signaling in systemic sclerosis.

CD8+ T cells drive myofibroblast activation and contraction via JAK/STAT3 and TGFβ signaling

Theodoros Ioannis Papadimitriou, A. Essen, Merel Willemse…·A. van Caam

This study shows CD8+ T cells drive myofibroblast activation and contraction through JAK/STAT3 and TGFβ signaling, not cytotoxicity, and suggests combined inhibition of these pathways could treat fibrosis.
