Abstract
Autoimmune diseases, a disease characterized by immune imbalance caused by the human immune system mistakenly attacking its own components, include vitiligo, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD). Previous studies on autoimmune diseases have focused mainly on immune cells, keratinocytes and endothelial cells. Fibroblasts, the main cells that secrete the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the dermis, have been studied thoroughly in terms of fibrosis and wound healing. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that fibroblasts play an important role in nonfibrotic autoimmune skin diseases. In this article, the previously reported role of fibroblasts in nonfibrous autoimmune skin diseases such as psoriasis, vitiligo and AD is summarized to provide new ideas for the treatment of this disease.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Medicine is an open access journal that focuses on publishing recent findings related to disease pathogenesis at the molecular or physiological level. These insights can potentially contribute to the development of specific tools for disease diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. The journal considers manuscripts that present material pertinent to the genetic, molecular, or cellular underpinnings of critical physiological or disease processes. Submissions to Molecular Medicine are expected to elucidate the broader implications of the research findings for human disease and medicine in a manner that is accessible to a wide audience.
