Psoriasis is a polygenic chronic skin condition, associated with many systemic disorders. Though it is most studied dermatological condition, molecular mechanism leading to its pathogenesis is still unclear. An insight into its proteome may help unrevealing some biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Advanced glycation end products(AGEs), their receptors RAGEs, other ligands, and several other processes contribute to the cerebrovascular pathomechanism interaction in the diabetes-ischemic stroke combination. Critical reappraisal of molecular targets and therapeutic agents to mitigate them is required to identify key elements for therapeutic interventions that may improve patient outcomes.

An abnormal proliferation of keratinocyte and dermal infiltration by immune cells is a characteristic feature. It involves components of both innate and adaptive immunity, and the interaction of T cells with macrophages.
