## Abstract ## Objective Tissue fibrosis is a hallmark compromising feature of many disorders. In this study, we investigated the antifibrogenic effects of the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) on cytokine‐driven fibrotic responses in vitro and in vivo. ## Methods Skin fibroblas
## Abstract ## Objective Recently, we found that human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) express melanocortin 1 receptors (MC‐1R) that bind α‐melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α‐MSH). In search of novel therapies for scleroderma (systemic sclerosis [SSc]), we used the bleomycin (BLM) model to investigate th
