Although many therapeutic modalities have been tested on alopecia areata, patient outcomes have been disappointing. Use of animal models would help to develop more efficient therapies as well as understanding therapeutic mechanisms. We have demonstrated that 0.1% topical anthralin ointment is 100%
OBJECTIVE
Topical application of anthralin, used in the treatment of psoriasis, is often accompanied by severe skin inflammation, presumably due to free radical products of the drug. The role of inflammatory cytokines and their induction by anthralin-derived reactive oxygen species were studied in
Anthralin is a widely used topical anti-psoriatic drug that may have an immunomodulating effect on alopecia areata (AA) as it does in psoriasis. The aims of the present study were to investigate the effects of anthralin on hair growth in balding C3H/HeJ mice affected by an AA-like disease and to
Atopic dermatitis is a lymphocyte-mediated skin disease. We studied the expression of the adhesion molecule alpha6 integrin by immunohistochemistry in spontaneous atopic inflammation as well as during the eliciting phase of atopen (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), antigen (nickel sulfate) and
The up-regulation of the inducible form of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), a central enzyme in the prostaglandin (PG) biosynthetic pathway, occurs in many epithelial tumors and has been associated with tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis. To better understand the role of COX-2 in skin tumor
We present the results on retrospective analysis about the efficacy of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP), an anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha agent, as monotherapy on skin psoriasis (PsO) in patients affect both by psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and mild-severe PsO. To date, the CZP is authorized
