A hallmark of cutaneous autoimmune diseases is the infiltration of myeloid cells into the skin and affected organs. However, the role of subpopulations of myeloid cells, in particular of inflammatory and patrolling monocytes, and their crosstalk with platelets remains largely unknown in the pathogenesis of systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc).
To decipher molecular mechanisms (1, 2, 3) of myeloid cell and platelet function (4), their interaction and the role of ROS-mediated processes, we will combine novel nanocapsule-based approaches with multiscale imaging techniques in mouse models of SSc and SLE (5).
