New developments in our understanding of the biology of psoriasis.
Increased keratinocyte proliferation and inflammation are two hallmarks of psoriasis. In this paper new developments in skin biology and biochemistry that help us to understand these two features of the disease are discussed. Methods to control proliferation and inflammation based on these scientific developments are presented.
