Abstract
Cutaneous involvement of sarcoidosis can provide important insights into the presence and prognosis of systemic involvement. Recent insights into the underlying pathophysiology of sarcoidosis have allowed for more targeted therapy, including inhibition of the JAK-STAT and mTOR pathways. In this review article, we discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and pathophysiology of cutaneous sarcoidosis and delve into both traditional and evolving treatment strategies, with a focus on the association of therapy with our evolving understanding of sarcoidosis pathophysiology.
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.
