Introduction

The landscape of management for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis has shifted significantly over the past decades from generalized systemic immunosuppression to targeted biologic therapeutics. Despite these advancements, issues such as high production costs, systemic side effects, and secondary treatment failure continue to necessitate active investigation into alternative therapeutic vectors [3]. Modern dermatological pharmacology emphasizes the optimization of localized delivery mechanisms to suppress pathogenic cytokine axes, notably the interleukin-23/interleukin-17 pathway, directly within skin lesions.

At Chongqing Medical University, the research initiatives directed by Xiao Zhang focus on addressing these exact pharmacological parameters. Zhang’s work explores the crossing points of nanomedicine, localized epidermal barriers, and cellular pathway regulation, providing structural frameworks that support the implementation of next-generation dermatological care.
