Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic systemic T-cell-mediated inflammatory disease with high morbidity. Psoriasis’s investigation has been intense, improving knowledge on physiopathology and leading to new biologic therapies for moderate and severe psoriasis’s treatment. This review will focus the present and the future of anti-cytokine therapies, beside the class of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) blockers.
