Abstract
Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects approximately 2-3% of the population worldwide. Translational medicine, which focuses on treating and analyzing diseases caused by translational factors, is becoming increasingly relevant in the field of psoriasis research. This review aims to display the current literature on the role of translational medicine in the treatment and understanding of psoriasis. We found that translational factors such as protein kinases and cytokines play a key role in the development and progression of psoriasis. Additionally, current treatments for psoriasis, such as biologics, target these translational factors to reduce inflammation and improve skin condition. Furthermore, studies have shown that genetic variations in translational-related genes can also contribute to the development of psoriasis. This highlights the importance of translational medicine in understanding the underlying mechanisms of psoriasis and developing increasingly effective treatments for this debilitating disease.
