Therapeutic Advancements in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, many advances in science have provided a better understanding of the pathogenesis of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This facilitated the identification of many new therapeutic targets, such as those blocking the main pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. Research has particularly focused on systemic agents for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, particularly with the introduction of biologic agents and "small molecules". Treatment selection for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis may be challenging and different factors have to be considered when choosing the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.

For this Special Issue, we invite authors to present articles on therapeutic advances in the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, including both data trials and real-life experiences.
