,
October 2024 in “QJM” This study compared the long-term efficacy and safety of biologics targeting TNF alpha and IL-12/23 in moderate to severe psoriasis, finding that IL-12/23 inhibitors were more effective at achieving a PASI 75 response, while both treatments showed a similar risk of serious infection and malignancy.
9 citations
,
August 2017 in “Photochemistry and Photobiology” This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.
