Defective Efferocytosis in a Murine Model of Sjögren’s Syndrome Is Mediated by Dysfunctional Mer Tyrosine Kinase Receptor
Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS) is a chronic autoimmune disease primarily involving the exocrine glands in which the involvement of the innate immune system is largely uncharacterized. Mer signaling has been found to be protective in several autoimmune diseases but remains unstudied in SjS. Here, we invest...
