Bacterial soft tissue infection in psoriasis despite induction of epidermal antimicrobial peptides.

abstract：:For many years, the function of the sebaceous gland (SG) was underestimated and suggested by Albert M. Kligman as a remnant of human development, a 'living fossil with a past but no future'. However, the last two decades of studies and the discovery of neuro-endocrine pathways in skin have determined the importance of...
