New

Our co-authored paper titled Emerging drugs for the treatment of vitiligo has been published in the journal Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs.

This study comprehensively summarizes the current concepts in the pathogenesis of vitiligo with special focus on the cytokine and signaling pathways, which are the targets for newer drugs. JAK kinase signaling pathways and the cytokines involved are the focus of vitiligo treatment in current research, followed by antioxidant and repigmenting mechanisms, basic fibroblast growth factors, afamelanotide and targeted immunotherapy.
