Abstract
Abstract: Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), also known as Acne Inversa, is a chronic, recurrent inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting apocrine gland-bearing areas, such as the axilla and groin. Characterized by painful nodules, abscesses, and scarring, and has a profound psychological impact on patients. Current treatments aim to manage symptoms and prevent new lesions with a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. Emerging biosimilars, which replicate the efficacy and safety profiles of known biologics at a lower cost, offer new options for treating this debilitating cutaneous disorder. The review summarizes recent studies to explain the role of biosimilars in HS, emphasizing their potential to expand effective treatment options.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
