The group of Eberle recently tested the effects of dithranol using primary keratinocytes, a 3D psoriasis tissue model and some biopsy samples from psoriasis patients and reported on a reduction in Ki67 and keratin 16 positive cells in the epidermis using immunostaining and an inhibition of the antimicrobial peptide DEFB4 using qPCR analysis. Here, DEFB4B is linked to psoriasis.
