IFN-γ and TNF-α synergism may provide a link between psoriasis and inflammatory atherogenesis
Abstract Chronic inflammation is a critical component of atherogenesis, however, reliable human translational models aimed at characterizing these mechanisms are lacking. Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis, provides a clinical h...
