  • - The review discusses recent advancements in understanding psoriasis, including key signaling pathways implicated in the disease and new therapeutic agents like JAK inhibitors and biologics that target these pathways.
  • - It emphasizes the importance of ongoing research into drug delivery methods and personalized treatments, aiming to improve management and outcomes for those dealing with psoriasis.

Article Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting approximately 2 % to 3 % of the global population. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is complex, involving immune dysregulation, hyperproliferation and angiogenesis. It is a multifactorial disease which is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The development of various therapeutic agents, such as JAK inhibitors, small molecules, and biologics with potential anti-psoriatic properties was possible with the vast understanding of the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Various signalling pathways, including NF-κB, JAK-STAT, S1P, PDE-4, and A3AR that are involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis as well as the preclinical models utilised in the research of psoriasis have been highlighted in this review. The review also focuses on technological advancements that have contributed to a better understanding of psoriasis. Then, the molecules targeting the respective signalling pathways that are still under clinical trials or recently approved as well as the latest breakthroughs in therapeutic and drug delivery approaches that can contribute to the improvement in the management of psoriasis are highlighted in this review. This review provides an extensive understanding of the current state of research in psoriasis, giving rise to opportunities for researchers to discover future therapeutic breakthroughs and personalised interventions. Efficient treatment options for individuals with psoriasis can be achieved by an extensive understanding of pathogenesis, therapeutic agents, and novel drug delivery strategies.

In recent years, epigenetic modifications have attracted significant attention due to their unique regulatory mechanisms and profound biological implications. Acting as a bridge between environmental stimuli and changes in gene activity, they reshape gene expression patterns, providing organisms with regulatory mechanisms to respond to environmental changes. A growing body of evidence indicates that epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of psoriasis.

Although an ongoing understanding of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) pathogenesis, little is known about the proteomic differences between moderate and severe psoriasis. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the proteomic differences between moderate and severe psoriasis using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS). 173 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were significantly differentially expressed between the two groups.

The last decennia have witnessed spectacular advances in our knowledge about the influence of the gut microbiome on the development of a wide swathe of diseases that extend beyond the digestive tract, including skin diseases like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, rosacea, alopecia areata, and hidradenitis suppurativa. The novel concept of the gut-skin axis delves into how skin diseases and the microbiome interact through inflammatory mediators, metabolites, and the intestinal barrier. Elucidating the effects of the gut microbiome on skin health could provide new opportunities for developing innovative treatments for dermatological diseases.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by painful, deep-seated nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels in the skin of axillary, inguinal, genitoanal, or inframammary areas. In recent years, the body of knowledge in hidradenitis suppurativa has advanced greatly. This disorder typically starts in the second or third decade of life.

Background: Psoriasis patients who are seropositive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) face an elevated risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation (HBVr) when treated with cytokine inhibitors. This study aims to elucidate the risk in this population.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to assess the risk of HBVr in 73 psoriasis patients treated with cytokine inhibitors from 2013 to 2023.
