Reduced TRPC channel expression in psoriatic keratinocytes is associated with impaired differentiation and enhanced proliferation.

Psoriasis is a characteristic inflammatory and scaly skin condition with typical histopathological features including increased proliferation and hampered differentiation of keratinocytes. The activation of innate and adaptive inflammatory cellular immune responses is considered to be the main trigg...
