Translating the Science of Psoriasis.

Translating the Science of Psoriasis. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2016 Jun;35(4S):S64 Authors: Gordon KB Abstract Knowledge about the pathophysiology of psoriasis has evolved substantially in recent years, since the identification of the T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Cytokines produced by these cells appear to play major roles in psoriatic inflammation. The cytokine interleukin (IL)-23 appears to promote regulatory T cells to differentiate into Th17 cells. Available and investigational therapies act on targets within these pathways. Semin Cutan Med Surg 35(supp4):S64. PMID: 27526392 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
