Young-GRAPPA 2023: The Future Is Bright.

Two years after its inception, Young Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (Y-GRAPPA) has established itself as a productive network for junior investigators and clinicians. The group's achievements in the last year include updating the educational GRAPPA slide library, the "Bring a Derm" campaign to expand the GRAPPA community to include more dermatologists, and the publication of multiple "Do Not Miss" newsletters covering the highlights on PsDs from the major international conferences (American Academy of Dermatology [AAD] Annual Meeting, European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology [EULAR] Congress, European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology [EADV] Congress, and American College of Rheumatology [ACR] Convergence).

Young-GRAPPA (Y-GRAPPA) was introduced at the 2021 Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) annual meeting. Here we present the 1-year progress of Y-GRAPPA and future plans of this enthusiastic group of young clinicians and early career researchers interested in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Interleukin (IL)-17 Versus IL-23 Inhibitors: Which Is Better to Treat Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis and Mild Psoriatic Arthritis in Dermatology Clinics?

Interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 inhibitors are both approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO), as well as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). In the absence of head-to-head studies, it is not clear which agent is better suited to treat patients with moderate-to-severe PsO and mild PsA. During the 2022 Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) conference, Dr.

Interleukin-12 and interleukin-23 inhibition in psoriatic arthritis.

The cytokines interleukin (IL)-12 and interleukin (IL)-23 have been implicated variously in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). By corollary, the IL-12/23 inhibitor, Ustekinumab has been developed as an approved therapeutic for the skin and musculoskeletal syndrome of psoriasis / PsA. This review describes briefly the role of IL-12 and IL-23 in the pathophysiology of psoriatic arthritis and evaluates trial data that support its clinical use in psoriasis and different manifestations of psoriatic arthritis.
