New immune cells found in psoriasis skin could reshape treatment targets

Researchers identified a specific type of immune cell—plasmacytoid dendritic cells—infiltrating the outer skin layer in psoriasis patients. The discovery opens new avenues for drug development and could help dermatology companies and biotech firms design more targeted therapies for the estimated 125 million people worldwide with the inflammatory skin condition.
