Genome Wide Transcriptome Analysis of Dendritic Cells Identifies Genes with Altered Expression in Psoriasis [PDF]
Activation of dendritic cells by different pathogens induces the secretion of proinflammatory mediators resulting in local inflammation. Importantly, innate immunity must be properly controlled, as its continuous activation leads to the development of ...

Aims Amgevita is a licensed biosimilar to adalimumab, having demonstrated high pharmacokinetic and clinical similarity to Humira. Switching to a lower‐cost medicine may elicit a nocebo effect, whereby expectations of poorer efficacy impact outcomes despite pharmacological similarity. This prospective cohort study examined clinical and economic outcomes
