Macrophages in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and anti-psoriatic nanotherapies

Psoriasis is a common, chronic, and inflammatory skin disease. Macrophages account for about 61.3% of the inflammatory cells infiltrating psoriatic lesions. Modulating macrophage polarization, inhibiting their infiltration, and targeting the secretion of inflammatory factors and associated inflammatory pathways by these cells can alleviate psoriasis symptoms and inflammation. Moreover, nanomaterials as novel drug carriers, offer unique advantages such as large surface area, easy modification, high biocompatibility, good biodegradability, enhanced systemic adsorption, etc. Nanomaterials have great potential for efficient drug delivery and release, as well as improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing adverse effects. By systematically addressing the role of macrophages in psoriasis pathogenesis and the potential of nanomaterials in treating psoriasis through modulating macrophages, this review enhances our understanding of the disease mechanism and holds promise for novel therapeutic breakthroughs and advancements in the future treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract

Cancer transformation is a multistep process sustained by several molecular alterations includingthose of DNA methylation. The high-throughput technology allowed understanding the functional roleof global methylation patterns in the regulation of genes involved in cancer development. In order toidentify specific methylation patterns associated with gene expression, an R package algorithm able toperform integrated analysis of gene expression and methylation profiles datasets was developed.
