Reference of Circadian Rhythm in the Treatment of Psoriasis: A Novel Insight
Abstract: The objective of the present study was to establish the needs for different products in the treatment of psoriasis with reference to circadian rhythm. The events like proliferation of keratinocytes and elastase activity are influenced by circadian rhythm. The proliferation of the keratinocytes occurs more during early hours of the day however, the enzymatic activities occur post to that. Psorolin ointment and Psorolin oil were studied for the cell proliferation …

Recent Advancement in Understanding the Aetiopathogenesis of Psoriasis: A Review
Abstract: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with periods of recurrence and remission. Various researches have globally explored the aetiopathogenesis of psoriasis but still it is not crystal clear. Abundant evidence suggest that dysregulation of immune cells in the skin, particularly keratinocytes, T cells, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, neutrophils, and macrophages play a vital role in the development of psoriasis. The combined effects of these cells explain most of …
