Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation and aberrant immune responses. Puerarin (PUE), a natural isoflavone from Pueraria lobata, exhibits multiple pharmacological activities, but its role in psoriasis remains unclear. The M5-induced HaCaT cell model was used to evaluate the effects of PUE on proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were assessed by CCK-8, EdU, and flow cytometry, while cyto

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder with strong genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers, characterized by excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and recruitment of inflammatory cells. Affecting 2-3% of the global population and represents a significant public health challenge. In psoriasis, the skin barrier is altered rather than uniformly enhanced, and its permeability varies with drug types and disease states, which may affect the effective delivery of drugs to affecte

Background Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin condition that is chronic and causes a great deal of disease burden, especially for those affected in their most productive years. Gut microbiota, immune parameters and, in turn, psoriasis symptom improvement have recently been associated with the use of probiotics in several different studies.Objectives This study aims to conduct an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the effectiveness of probiotic supplementati

Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex pathogenesis that involves the dysregulation of multiple cellular components and interconnected molecular pathways. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a key transcription factor that integrates signals from multiple cytokines and growth factors to regulate gene expression involved in cell proliferation, survival, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has shown the pivotal role of STAT3 in driving the

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by dysregulated keratinocyte proliferation, immune cell infiltration, and systemic comorbidities. Despite the identification of numerous genetic susceptibility loci for psoriasis through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), their functional roles and underlying causal contributions to psoriasis pathogenesis remain largely unclear. Integrating multi-omics data with causal inference approaches, such as Mendelian rand

Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorder affecting both adults and children worldwide, with an average prevalence of approximately 2%. Recent evidence suggests that several hematological inflammatory parameters and vitamin levels may serve as accessible biomarkers for disease activity and severity assessment.Methods This single-center retrospective case-control study was conducted at Jordan University Hospital using electronic medical record data from January 201

Background Psoriasis is a non-communicable inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 2%-3% of the world's population. Given its high impact on quality of life and the fact that a subset of patients exhibits suboptimal or secondary loss of response to current treatments, identifying new therapeutic strategies is crucial. Proliferation-associated protein 2G4 (PA2G4) is a transcription factor that has been exclusively studied in cancer research, where it promotes cell growth and enhances

Erythrodermic psoriasis(EP) is a rare, life-threatening variant affecting 75%-90% of the body surface area. Characterized by widespread erythema and potential systemic symptoms like fever and lymphadenopathy, it severely impairs patient quality of life. The pathogenesis of erythrodermic psoriasis is not fully understood. It is a multifactorial, multistep process suspected to result from an abnormal immune response induced by both genetic and environmental factors. Key contributors to erythroderm

Background Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting 2-3% of the global population, is driven by dysregulated immune responses. Despite advancements in biologic therapies, treatment challenges persist due to high recurrence rates. This study aimed to identify immune-related hub genes and elucidate their clinical implications in psoriasis pathogenesis and therapy.Methods Multiple microarray datasets from psoriasis patients (GSE30999, GSE106992, GSE14905, GSE78097, and GSE117468) we

The introduction of biosimilars for moderate-to-severe psoriasis treatment has demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety to originator biologics, with the potential to improve cost-effectiveness. We explored the potential for biosimilars to improve access to biologics for psoriasis, especially in low-and-middle-income countries where costs often limit access to originators. The analysis was based on a systematic review conducted as part of the submission process to include adalimumab and ustek

Psoriasis is a relapsing autoimmune disease exacerbated by aberrant interleukin (IL)-17 A activity. Majoon Ushba, a unani polyherbal formulation implicated in clinical cases of psoriasis lacks immunopharmacological validation.
