Joel M Gelfand Highlights Platelet RNA Signature in Psoriasis
Joel M Gelfand, Director Center for Clinical Sciences in Dermatology at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“An under investigated topic in psoriasis is its impact on platelets. Here, Michael Garshick demonstrates that even when psoriasis is well controlled with biologics platelets remain activated and have a newly discovered RNA signature that predicts future cardiovascular events.

Álvaro González Cantero has also recently demonstrated that patients with well controlled psoriasis have residual systemic inflammation

These findings provide more evidence that simply treating the skin may not be enough to lower CV risk and that more holistic multi-pronged approaches are needed. Note, I am a collaborator and author on both papers”
