Quoi de neuf en recherche dermatologique ?

Fundamental research in Dermatlogy has been once more very active during the past year and more specifically focused on immunological grounds of inflammatory diseases, the identification of risk loci associated with psoriasis and tumors, cutaneous lymphomas and on the genodermatosis where large international collaborative studies provided with a molecular understanding of an increasing amount of conditions especially affecting pigmentation and differentiation. In silico investigations become increasingly prominent especially with the rising power of new actor, China, the demographical and resulting epidemiological weight of which can hardly be challenged. Some of these fundamental breakthroughs might result in practical interventions although in an undefined future.
