- Study shows that interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels in sweat from skin lesions are a biomarker for local inflammatory activity in plaque psoriasis.
- IL-17A found in lesional sweat correlates with the degree of inflammation and can help monitor disease severity.
- Changes in sweat IL-17A levels are associated with treatment response, indicating its potential as a clinical outcome measure.
- The research highlights sweat as a non-invasive sample source for tracking psoriasis activity and therapeutic effectiveness.
