    TLDR Psoriasis may be chronic because it lacks certain immune system controls that prevent overreaction.
    The study concluded that psoriasis was characterized by significantly lower expression of negative immune regulatory genes, such as IL-10, CTLA4, PD1, PDL1, PDL2, and IDO1, compared to delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions induced by diphencyprone (DPCP). This deficiency in negative immune regulation might contribute to the chronic inflammation seen in psoriasis. The findings suggested that enhancing these negative regulatory pathways could be a potential therapeutic strategy for treating psoriasis. The study involved 11 volunteers for DPCP reactions and a meta-analysis of 193 psoriatic skin samples.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
