Program Title: The mechanistic model(s) of psoriasis: Autoimmune and/or autoinflammatory?
![]() |
Program Summary
This symposium will explore recent advances in the understanding of both the adaptive and innate immune pathways that lead to clinical phenotypes of psoriasis. Part 1 of this event will feature five faculty presentations with expert panel discussion on the immunological spectrum of psoriasis whereby the adaptive immune response drives chronic plaque psoriasis and innate and autoinflammatory responses contribute to rare subtypes of psoriasis. The complex interplay among autoreactive T-cells, lipid driven T cell response, cytokines, and genetic mutations will be highlighted.
