Oxidative Stress in Inflammatory Skin and Tissue Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Oxidative stress is common in inflammatory skin and tissue disorders. In many disorders, the question of whether oxidative stress is an initiating and/or contributing element, or merely a subsequent phenomenon, emerges. Evidence of elevated oxidative stress has been described in skin diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, alopecia areata, and vitiligo. Treatments against oxidative stress are promising due to their unique working mechanisms and often beneficial side-effect profiles. Some interesting treatment outcomes have been reported, but more research is needed. The different effects of oxidative stress have been described in connective tissue disorders, such as lupus, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis, including fibrosis and the stimulation of both humoral and cellular immune responses.

We invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will collate the current research concerning oxidative stress in skin and tissue disorders. This research can include both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Studies investigating the treatments targeting oxidative stress in these conditions are also within the scope of this Special Issue.

We look forward to your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Reinhart M. Speeckaert
