Download or read book Immunology of Psoriatic Disease written by Eva Reali and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psoriasis is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disorder affecting about 2% of the worldwide population. The disease is associated with important systemic manifestations, including cardiovascular comorbidities and metabolic syndrome. In addition, about 30% of patients develop joint inflammation known as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Our knowledge on the pathogenesis of psoriasis has dramatically expanded in the last decade, suggesting the existence (or co-existence) of both auto-immune and auto-inflammatory components. Skin lesions develop from a complex interplay between keratinocytes, vascular endothelium, dendritic cells, and T cells, generating a self-sustaining inflammatory cycle. Within this cycle, epidermal CD8+ T lymphocytes specific for self-antigens may represent the major autoimmune mechanism. Despite the recent progress in the comprehension of the pathogenesis of psoriasis many questions remain open, ranging from the plaque-initiating events to the characterization of the autoimmune /autoinflammatory components of the disease. The mechanisms that link cutaneous psoriasis to its extra-cutaneous and systemic manifestations also remain vague. In this Research Topic we invited top scientists to summarize the front-line research in the field of immunology of cutaneous psoriasis and its systemic and joint manifestations. Our intention was to integrate the pillar concepts of psoriasis immunopathology with the most novel insights, aiming at providing an advanced view of this rapidly evolving and fascinating field.

Book excerpt: It has become increasingly clear that psoriatic disease, both of the skin and joints, can be a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the physician and a debilitating illness for the patient. Genetic and immunologic advances have increased our understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and there is a need for practically oriented evidence based references to describe the management options open to clinicians. The speed at which developments are occurring in the field also necessitates a novel approach to keeping up with these changes in practice and the need is for a reference that that be updated regularly as the subject requires. Psoriasis is an incredibly fast-moving discipline within dermatology. Guidelines, treatment options and management all change at incredible speed. There is a requirement to provide a comprehensive reference resource to provide practical, user friendly information for the dermatology profession to aid in the decision-making process.
