AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases are inadequate due to adverse effects, treatment resistance, long-term safety concerns, variability in response, and high costs, highlighting the need for more effective therapeutic strategies.
The use of Thiomorpholino (TMO) oligomer-based therapeutics that target specific genes upregulated in psoriasis, such as IL1RL2, S100A8, and S100A9, to inhibit translation and induce exon skipping, thereby reducing inflammation and keratinocyte proliferation.
The TMO oligomers effectively downregulate gene expression, reducing inflammation and psoriasis symptoms by blocking key inflammatory pathways, offering a targeted and safer alternative to existing treatments.
