Is it idiopathic psoriasis or TNFi-induced psoriasis? A new study finds histological differences between these two types of psoriatic lesions that impact treatment.
Targeting Tumor Necrosis Factor Pathways in Psoriatic Diseases: The Next Step
Preclinical models suggest that specific blockade of TNFR2 may significantly reduce inflammation and ameliorate signs of psoriatic diseases, while maintaining normal immune response in the host, including the ability to combat infection and cancer. In this article, M. Elaine Husni, MD, MPH, highlights her latest research and discusses her plans to use her new R01 grant to continue her translational work.
New Research Lab Brings an Interdisciplinary Approach to Psoriatic Diseases
The Husni research lab combines clinical savvy with biochemical and molecular biology expertise to home in on the molecular basis of immune-mediated diseases. An early focus: selective TNF-α receptor inhibition.
