Regulatory cells in the skin: pathophysiological role and potential targets for anti-inflammatory therapies

Inflammation is a fundamental defence mechanism to protect the body from danger, which becomes potentially harmful if it turns chronic. Therapeutic strategies aimed at specifically blocking pro-inflammatory signals - particularly cytokines such as interleukin-4, interleukin-6, interleukin-13, interleukin-17A or tumour necrosis factor α - have substantially improved our ability to effectively and safely treat chronic inflammatory diseases. Much less efforts have been made to better understand the role of potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)
