Brain-skin connection in psoriasis pathogenesis strengthened by new study

A new study has found evidence that neuropeptides may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Though there are well documented genetic and environmental factors for psoriasis evidence that neuropeptides released by the cutaneous nervous system and the skin microbiome influence the development of psoriasis, strengthens the brain-skin connection of the disease, researchers said.
