Antifibrogenic effects of C-C chemokine receptor type 2 antagonist in a bleomycin-induced scleroderma model.

abstract：:Despite the lack of protective melanin and increased oxidative stress due to mM concentrations of epidermal H2O2 in vitiligo, there is no significantly increased risk for chronic actinic damage and non-melanoma skin cancer. Therefore the question arises, which protective mechanisms could be involved in the skin of the...
