Peripheral Blood Gene Expression and Scleroderma Lung Disease
Episode 86
Tuesday, 31 March, 2026
In this episode, Dr. Shervin Assassi discusses a secondary analysis of the SENSCIS trial, exploring how peripheral blood gene expression may predict response to mycophenolate in systemic sclerosis–associated lung disease.
