Figure 5. Areas of research focus for psoriasis publications in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (JID) in the preceding 2 years.

Figure 5.

Subcategorization reveals predominant focus on pathogenesis, drug responses, and clinical outcomes but also a strong emphasis on epidemiology and comorbidities. Literature search includes JID publications from July 2017 through June 2019 containing the search term “psoria*” with direct relevance to psoriasis. Some topics are common to multiple publications but represented only once in the figure. Many publications could be appropriately classified in multiple ways; the figure is intended to provide an overall impression of distribution of scientific focus. AD, atopic dermatitis; AGEP, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis; BSA, body surface area; CV, cardiovascular; DAMPs, damage-associated molecular patterns; DCs, dendritic cells; IMQ, imiquimod; KC, keratinocyte; LCE, late cornified envelope; NETs, neutrophil extracellular traps; sPGA, static physician global assessment; TLRs, toll-like receptors.
