p38 MAPK Signaling in Pemphigus: Implications for Skin Autoimmunity

Whether autoantibody-antigen interactions can trigger signaling pathways (such as p38 MAPK) that are tightly linked to the secretion of inflammatory mediators which may perpetuate inflammation and tissue damage in pemphigus remains unclear.
