Recent science research about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Over the past two-decades there has been a revolution in our understanding of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, both in terms of basic immunology, disease mechanisms and therapeutics.

This science based newsletter is designed to provide a summary of recently published research. Of course, it’s never a good time to have psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, but if you have to have it, there has never been a better time!

It is available online as a download, and is included as hard-copy in Skin 'n' Bones Connection

The material has been written and brought together by PAPAA medical advisor Dr David Ashton.

Comments:

From reader of issue 3:

"This is a fascinating read - thank you PAPAA for putting out this excellent brief paper! I certainly identified with the article 'In sickness and in health'. As we know, Psoriasis can cause so much stress and anxiety. Also, I have tried Dead Sea Salts at home, but didn't see any improvement in my skin. I wonder if it makes a difference if you visit the area and take the salts there? Exciting news about the Sotyktu drug!"
