Connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease: immune profiling and correlation of immune cells with pulmonary function in SSc-ILD
Abstract Background Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) frequently involve the lungs, with CTD-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) representing a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, yet the immunopathological mechanisms remain incompletely defined. This study characterized immune profiles in CTD-ILD and...
