[What's new in dermatological research? Contributions from the 2006 literature].

A lecture is given every year at the annual meeting of the French Society of Dermatology in Paris by a dermatologist who has reviewed the scientific literature for the previous year. This manuscript is based on the 2007 lecture and reviews topics felt to be of potential interest to understanding of cutaneous biology, pathophysiology of skin diseases and treatments related to dermatology. It includes the following areas of interest: Wnt signaling, genetic disorders, rosacea, acne, itch, autoimmune bullous diseases, skin-barrier function, psoriasis and new therapies.
