Dr. Roxane Pouliot's latest research sheds new light on psoriasis using 3D skin models! Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by an abnormal and excessive proliferation of keratinocytes, thus thickening the skin.
This study shows that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid, can normalize the proliferation of psoriatic keratinocytes, and can reduce the expression of the cytokine IL-17A by T cells, thus exerting anti-inflammatory effects and boosting immune tolerance
This indicates that EPA could be a valuable asset for enhancing outcomes in psoriasis patients, and further investigation is warranted!
