Role of circulating endothelial cells in assessing the severity of systemic sclerosis and predicting its clinical worsening
Abstract Endothelial damage and fibro-proliferative vasculopathy of small vessels are pathological hallmarks of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The consequence is the detachment of resident elements that become circulating endothelial cells (CECs). The aim of our study was to evaluate the potential of CEC...
