Abstract
Although IL-23 is expressed by psoriatic keratinocytes as well as immune cells, only the immune cell derived IL-23 is thought to be important for the development of psoriasis. Here the authors provide evidence that keratinocyte-produced IL-23 is sufficient to cause a chronic skin inflammation.
