Abstract
Scleroderma is a life-threatening autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, tissue remodelling, and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in scleroderma skin and experimentally-induced dermal fibrosis to determine its potential role and therapeutic implications.
