Background Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic disease associated with genetic factors related to mutations of the interleukin 36 receptor antagonist gene (IL36RN) and the caspase recruitment domain 14 gene (CARD14). However, the relevance of these mutations to the clinical features and severity of GPP remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and working mechanism of an anti-CX CL1 monoclonal antibody in treating systemic sclerosis (SSc).
  • Researchers used cultured human skin cells and models of SSc to assess the impact of this antibody on various skin-related factors, including inflammation and collagen buildup.
  • The results indicated that anti-CX CL1 mAb significantly reduced specific signaling pathways and cellular infiltration linked to skin fibrosis, suggesting its potential as a new treatment option for early stages of fibrosis in SSc.
