: Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by the presence of erythematous, scaly plaques on the extensor surfaces of the body. Treatment varies according to the stage of the disease, with the most severe cases being treated with biologic treatments that differ in efficacy and persistence over time. This study aimed to evaluate the 10-year persistence of biologic drugs (adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab and ustekinumab) in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Background: The transcription factor AP1 plays a crucial role in the proliferation, apoptosis, and terminal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify whether the subunit of AP1, FOSL1 protein, can be used to assess the exacerbation of psoriasis by evaluating its changes in protein and mRNA levels in cultured epidermal keratinocytes and skin specimens of the patients prescribed with bathwater PUVA (Psoralen and UVA) therapy. This study aimed to investigate FOSL1, a subunit of the transcription factor AP-1, as a potential biomarker for psoriasis by examining its protein and mRNA expression in skin specimens from patients undergoing bathwater PUVA (Psoralen and UVA) therapy and cultured epidermal keratinocytes.

Psoriasis is a prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal skin plaques. To date, physical therapy, topical therapy, systemic therapy and biologic drugs are the most commonly employed strategies for treating psoriasis. Recently, many agents have advanced to clinical trials, and some anti-psoriasis drugs have been approved, including antibody drugs and small-molecule drugs.

The aim of the present study was to compare the RCM evaluation of DP density in healthy skin with horizontal histopathological sections (HHS), a technique that provides a horizontal view of the skin.
Methods: Ten adult patients were selected, and a healthy skin area was marked for RCM examination and a subsequent 5-mm punch biopsy that was processed for HHS.

Background: Current pharmacological treatments for psoriasis are generally non-specific and have significant limitations, particularly in the realm of targeted biologic therapies. There is an urgent need to identify and develop new therapeutic targets to improve treatment options.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the proteome associated with psoriasis in large population cohorts to discover novel biomarkers that could guide therapy.
