Fascin-positive DC predominance in inflammatory infiltrates in myositic muscles confirms the prevalence of mature forms and indicates that there are conditions stimulating DC maturation in both PM and DM. The induction of immunological tolerance by inhibiting DC maturation may be a promising direction for studies of myositis treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
