Abstract
Psoriasis is a common chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease, with its pathogenesis involving genetic susceptibility, abnormal immune responses, and environmental factors. In recent years, targeted immunotherapy has become a prominent treatment approach. Various drugs targeting cytokines, such as interleukin-17, interleukin-23, and tumor necrosis factor-α, have been introduced, effectively alleviating symptoms. However, due to the complex immunopathogenesis of psoriasis and individual patient differences, single-target drugs may not consistently provide comprehensive treatment effects. Therefore, this article suggests that future research should prioritize multitarget combination therapies to enhance efficacy and reduce resistance. Personalized treatment strategies, based on patients’ genetic, immune, and clinical characteristics, should be developed. Investigating new immunomodulatory mechanisms and drugs, as well as combination therapies that integrate targeted drugs with phototherapy or cellular therapy, is also crucial. Additionally, exploring long-term efficacy and resistance mechanisms will help improve treatment outcomes, with the goal of transforming psoriasis treatment.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Immunology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Immunology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
Current Opinion in Immunology will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.
Current Opinion in Immunology builds on Elsevier''s reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible biomedical research targeted at improving human health. It is a companion to the new Gold Open Access journal Current Research in Immunology and is part of the Current Opinion and Research(CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists'' workflow.
