October 2013 in “Expert Review of Dermatology” Psychotropic medications can cause skin problems, including serious conditions, and patients should be monitored closely.
1 citations,
January 2010 in “Elsevier eBooks” Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
6 citations,
December 2017 in “Molecular Medicine Reports” Wnt5a may contribute to psoriasis by reducing skin cell growth, blocking skin cell maturation, and increasing inflammation.
46 citations,
