Researchers have figured out how to create a mouse model of a rare but fatal skin cancer, a scientific discovery 10 years in the making.

The findings could lead to repurposing drugs for patients with the sometimes-fatal condition.

In patients with lupus, immune cells undergo an inflammatory transformation when migrating from the blood to the skin.

Researchers report progress towards understanding which genes play the biggest roles in psoriasis.

Participants said the lesions caused similar or more distress than skin conditions like acne or psoriasis.

Researchers say finding predictive signs in a patient’s genetic profile is a step toward applying precision medicine to complex inflammatory skin diseases.
