Angiogenic T cell expansion correlates with severity of peripheral vascular damage in systemic sclerosis.

Angiogenic T cell expansion correlates with severity of peripheral vascular damage in systemic sclerosis.

The mechanisms underlying endothelial cell injury and defective vascular repair in systemic sclerosis (SSc) remain unclear. Since the recently discovered angiogenic T cells (Tang) may have an important role in the repair of damaged endothelium, this study aimed to analyze the Tang population in rela...
