“…While the infiltration of immune cells into skin plays a critical role in the development of psoriasis, as evidenced by interleukin (IL) -23/IL-17 axis (Fitch, Harper, Skorcheva, Kurtz, & Blauvelt, 2007; Hawkes, Yan, Chan, & Krueger, 2018; Kim & Krueger, 2017), recent studies have revealed that cells constructing skin structure, such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, also play pivotal roles in the development (Heidenreich, Röcken, & Ghoreschi, 2009; Lowes, Russell, Martin, Towne, & Krueger, 2013; Zhang et al, 2023) and maintenance (Arasa et al, 2019; Francis et al, 2024; Li et al, 2023; Ma et al, 2023; Tan et al, 2015; Zhu et al, 2020) of psoriasis. Among these cells, keratinocytes function as a barrier and produce cytokines, chemokines, and antimicrobial peptides against foreign stimuli, resulting in the activation of immune cells (Ni & Lai, 2020; Zhou, Chen, Cui, Shi, & Guo, 2022).…”
