Why this article was chosen
Commentary
As pointed out by Garzorz-Stark and Kilian Eyerich1 in the Commentary related to the present article, in psoriatic skin, there are two immune axes involving IFNs: pDC-derived IFN-a and keratinocytes-derived IFN-k, both leading to type 1 (Th1, IL-12, and IFN-g) and type 3 (IL-23, Th17, IL-17) immune responses. This also implies an active role for keratinocytes in psoriasis.

Commentary: Preclinical and Clinical Evidence for Suppression of Alcohol Intake by Apremilast
A host of factors is important to consider in the personalized treatment of psoriasis. It is advantageous if a treatment is effective in psoriasis and has beneficial effects on associated conditions. This recent literature publication has highlighted that apremilast, beyond its anti-psoriatic properties, positively impacts excessive alcohol consumption. Read the expert opinion of IPC Board Member Johann Gudjonsson, MD, PhD.
Commentary: Trajectories and Prognosis after Discontinuation of Biologics due to Remission in Psoriasis – A Nationwide Cohort Study
The prognosis and maintenance of response after treatment discontinuation following remission lack proper characterization. Real-world data obtained from national registries may provide valuable insights into this clinical issue. Tiago Torres, MD, PhD, provides his expert opinion on a recent study that investigated epidemiological characteristics and disease markers during the first two years following cessation of biologic therapy due to remission in adult patients.

Recently, a study was conducted on the effect of apremilast on vascular inflammation and cardiometabolic functions with an impressively comprehensive set of markers for vascular inflammation and cardiometabolic disease. Peter van de Kerkhof, MD, PhD, provides his expert opinion on the overall conclusion and the implications of this study are discussed.
