Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease characterized by abnormal proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, with a complex pathogenesis often linked to environmental and genetic factors. Although many treatments are available, the disease still exhibits a high recurrence rate. Epigenetic regulation appears to bridge external stimuli and genetic abnormalities in the development of psoriasis. Skin-resident cells may contribute to disease recurrence through an ‘inflammatory memory’ formed through epigenetic modifications. This review focuses on skin-resident cells in psoriasis, elucidating their roles in disease progression and recurrence from an epigenetic perspective, providing scientific evidence for targeted therapies.
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.
