Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic inflammatory disease whose exact etiopathogenesis remains unknown. Immunological alterations and chronic inflammation seem to be crucial pathomechanisms. Promoting fibroblast growth and activity, as well as collagen synthesis, is another key event [1]. However, the chief mediators associated with immunological and tissue changes and the link between immune dysreactivity and altered collagen metabolism are poorly known.

Abstract
Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic inflammatory disease whose exact etiopathogenesis remains unknown. Immunological alterations and chronic inflammation seem to be crucial pathomechanisms. Promoting fibroblast growth and activity, as well as collagen synthesis, is another key event [1]. However, the chief mediators associated with immunological and tissue changes and the link between immune dysreactivity and altered collagen metabolism are poorly known.File in questo prodotto:
