Summary : Inflammatory skin diseases such as allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis are together the most frequent dermatoses and are of great medical and economic significance. Despite impressive progress in recent years, the immune pathogenesis of these diseases is not yet fully understood. In particular, it remains an open question which anti-inflammatory mechanisms can be activated to prevent development of such abnormal immune reactions in the still healthy organism, and how these anti-inflammatory processes may be enhanced and instrumentalized for treatment of these disease states. |
