Scientific Abstract
To date, it is still obscure why in some patients with psoriasis the autoimmune process is restrained to the skin, whereas in other it extends to the joints. We will take advantage of models resembling psoriatic arthritis, with the aim of studying the joint involvement secondary to skin inflammation. The understanding and characterization of the underlying mechanisms involved in the skin-joint axis is pivotal for a better comprehension of the link between physical barriers and autoimmunity
