Response to: ‘In search for the ideal anatomical composition of vascularised human skin equivalents for systemic sclerosis translational research: should we recruit the telocytes?’ by Manetti and Matucci-Cerinic

We would like to thank Dr Manetti and Prof Matucci-Cerinic1 for their stimulating letter on our manuscript.2 The authors discuss strengths and potential limitations of vascularised skin equivalents as a novel in vitro model for systemic sclerosis (SSc). They raise two key points: 1. null Although the model includes key populations of cells relevant to skin homeostasis and to the pathogenesis of SSc such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells and...
