Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease affecting skin and joints, and TWEAK is a cytokine linked to various conditions.
- A study measured serum TWEAK levels in 40 psoriasis patients pre- and post-therapy with narrowband UVB or methotrexate, comparing results with 20 healthy controls.
- Results showed greater improvement in the PASI score for the methotrexate group (90%) compared to the UVB group (60%), with TWEAK levels significantly decreasing in both treatment groups, indicating its potential as a biomarker for psoriasis severity and treatment response.
