Over time, you may develop one type of connective tissue disorder.Blood tests may be used to measure the amount of inflammation in your body or to check organ function. Blood tests may also be used to check for specific antibodies that are attacking healthy cells by mistake. An x-ray, CT...
involving the musculo- skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, ophthalmologic, and cutaneous systems.1 However, it is less well known that there is an emerging and complex differential diagnosis to be consid- ered for patients evaluated for a possible heritable disorder of connective tissue.

This cohort study analyzes the risk of incident autoimmune and autoinflammatory connective tissue disorder following COVID-19.
An epithelial tissue is composed of avascular but innervated cells which line various body surfaces such as skin, blood vessels, respiratory tract, and body cavities. This tissue is the first to be exposed to mechanical and chemical stimuli....

【摘要】 结缔组织病相关肺间质病变(connectivetissuediseaseassociatedinterstitiallungdisease,CTDILD)是结缔组织疾 病的较为严重的并发症,诊断方式复杂,且在疾病早期阶段难以发现,预后极差,目前治疗手段有限,因此早期诊断,及早干预 极为关键。CTDILD血清生物标志物检测简单易行,对于疾病的早期诊断及病情监测有着重要的意义...
According to yet another aspect of the invention is a method for screening for a peptide that stimulates bone and/or cartilage formation and associated connective tissue, said method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a first biological sample capable of undergoing bone and/or cartilage format...
A novel chemotactic and mitogenic protein, Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), a polynucleotide that encodes CTGF and antibodies that bind to CTGF are provided. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods
