Common fatty acid contributes to temperature and pain sensitivity in psoriasis plaques
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230104085301.htm
A common fatty acid found in the Western diet breaks down into compounds that contribute to increased temperature and pain -- but not itch -- sensitivity in psoriatic lesions.

Immune surprise: Recently evolved alarm molecule drives inflammation
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221216142625.htm
Scientists have made an important breakthrough in understanding how inflammation is regulated. They have just discovered that a key immune alarm protein previously believed to calm down the immune response actually does the opposite. Their work has numerous potential impacts, especially in the context of understanding and responding to autoimmune disorders and inflammation.

Uncovering the skin's secrets: Studies show how skin forms differently across the body
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/09/220923153043.htm
Two recent studies reveal how skin forms differently across different areas of the body from the face and underarms to the palms of our hands and feet. By profiling the changes in skin, researchers found that the differences have a direct impact for how various skin diseases form across the body.

Psoriasis: Study lays foundation for new treatment strategy
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/07/220706133304.htm
About one third of those who suffer from psoriasis develop inflammation in their joints (psoriatic arthritis) as a result of the chronic skin condition. A research team has now discovered a key starting point for inhibiting inflammation in both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The researchers' findings may form the basis for developing new treatment, diagnostic and prevention strategies.

Suffering from psoriasis? Blame this trio of proteins
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/11/211119155451.htm
About 7.5 million Americans suffer from psoriasis, an autoimmune disease that shows up as patches of red, inflamed skin and painful, scaly rashes. Although there are effective treatments for psoriasis, not everyone responds to these therapies -- and for many, the relief is temporary. Scientists have discovered how a key protein called TWEAK damages skin cells in psoriasis patients. Their findings, in mice and with human skin cells, suggest targeting TWEAK may help control the disease.

Mechanism behind ineffective psoriasis drugs identified

Interleukin-12 -- a messenger molecule of immune cells -- was long considered to trigger the development of psoriasis. Now, researchers have shown that interleukin-12 does not actually cause the skin disease but protects against it. This also explains why common psoriasis drugs that block the messenger show insufficient treatment efficacy.

Stem cell transplantation: Undesirable rejection mechanism identified

In the treatment of leukemia, stem cell transplantation subsequent to chemotherapy and radiation can often engender severe adverse inflammatory reactions - especially in the skin or in the gut, since these so-called barrier organs are more frequently affected. Up until now, the reason for this was unclear. A team of researchers has now identified an immune mechanism that is partially responsible for this.

It showed that five years before their diagnosis, MS patients were statistically less likely to receive vaccinations than comparator groups. Consequently, there was no positive correlation between vaccinations and the development of MS.

Handheld scanner reveals vascularization in psoriasis patients
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2017/05/170531092502.htm
A newly developed tissue scanner allows looking under the skin of psoriasis patients. This provides clinically relevant information, such as the structure of skin layers and blood vessels, without the need for contrast agents or radiation exposure.

Potential target for treatment of skin inflammation in eczema and psoriasis
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2017/05/170522080757.htm
Superficially, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis may appear similar but their commonalities are only skin deep. Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is primarily driven by an allergic reaction, while psoriasis is considered an autoimmune disease. Nevertheless, researchers were able to pinpoint a common driver of skin inflammation in both diseases.

Severe psoriasis predominantly affects men
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2017/03/170324104829.htm
The fact that men are overrepresented in psoriasis registers and consume more psoriasis care have long led researchers to believe that the common skin disease disproportionately affects men. A unique study with 5,438 Swedish psoriasis patients now reveals that women have a statistically significant lower incidence of severe psoriasis compared to men.

Inflammatory disease trigger revealed
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2017/02/170222102553.htm
Scientists have revealed a potent inflammatory molecule released by dying cells triggers inflammation during necroptosis, a recently described form of cell death linked to inflammatory disease. The discovery could lead to new and existing medicines that target the molecule being investigated as a way of treating inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Depression puts psoriasis patients at significantly greater risk of psoriatic arthritis
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2017/02/170222082300.htm
Psoriasis is a lifelong disease that is associated with significant cosmetic and physical disability and puts patients at increased risk for many major medical disorders. A multidisciplinary team of researchers has found that psoriasis patients who developed depression were at a 37 percent greater risk of subsequently developing psoriatic arthritis, compared with psoriasis patients who did not develop depression.

Cytotoxic immune cell in sick and healthy skin a key to understanding vitiligo
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2017/02/170220085304.htm
With the aid of thousands of skin biopsies and over a hundred kilograms of skin, researchers have observed how two subgroups of immune cell behave in healthy skin. This functional dichotomy is preserved in the inflammatory diseases psoriasis and vitiligo. The study opens the way for more targeted local treatments for patchy inflammatory skin disorders.

A substantial part of people, one in five, undergoing systemic treatment for psoriasis (i.e. pills taken orally, injections or infusions) still have considerable problems with their disease, according to a recent study.
