Assessment of Treatment-Relevant Immune Biomarkers in Psoriasis and Atopic Dermatitis: Toward Personalized Medicine in Dermatology.

Immunologically targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment of inflammatory dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Although immunologic biomarkers hold great promise for personalized classification of skin disease and tailored therapy selection, there are no approved or widely used approaches for this in dermatology. This review summarizes the translational immunologic approaches to measuring treatment-relevant biomarkers in inflammatory skin conditions. Tape strip profiling, microneedle-based biomarker patches, molecular profiling from epidermal curettage, RNA in situ hybridization tissue staining, and single-cell RNA sequencing have been described. We discuss the advantages and limitations of each and open questions for the future of personalized medicine in inflammatory skin disease.
