Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent disease with the prevalence of approximately 2–3% in the general population. Despite the scientific achievements over the last few decades, we still do not fully understand this disease. Significant improvements in psoriasis treatment are connected with the introduction of biological therapies that have changed patients’ lives; however, many questions still remain on how to enhance effectiveness of treatment based on molecular findings. The Special Issue “Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis” will present the current knowledge on psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with a special emphasis on pathogenesis and treatment. Articles on the genetics of psoriasis, biological markers (from skin to blood), and biological treatment (especially in relation to the outcomes of treatment) are welcome. The differential diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis can be a difficult one; thus, we would like to invite papers on this topic, as it can be a significant problem, especially in relation to osteoarthritis.
The Special Issue would like to follow the psoriatic patient’s journey into how the basic science may influence the treatment, using the translational medicine concept to give readers a deeper understanding of this complex disease.
