Résumé
Granzyme B (GzmB) is a serine protease emerging as an important mediator of skin injury, inflammation and repair. Found at low levels in healthy skin, GzmB is dramatically elevated in chronic disease and inflammatory skin disorders, including diabetic ulcers, hypertrophic scarring, autoimmune skin disorders, cutaneous leishmaniasis and aging skin. Traditionally known for its pro-apoptotic function, the role of GzmB in disease has been redefined due to the discovery of additional activities involving the cleavage of extracellular matrix proteins, epithelial barrier disruption, fibrosis, vascular permeability, anoikis, inflammation and autoimmunity. In addition to the accumulation of GzmB
