The skin is an important barrier against foreign pathogens and its compromise can result in skin conditions and chronic wounds. Inflammatory skin conditions severely affect patients' quality of life and have a significant economic impact on the healthcare system. Recent advances in understanding skin inflammation include the development of new pharmaceuticals and advancements in clinical applications of mechanical forces and bioscaffolds.
Significance: The skin is the crucial first-line barrier against foreign pathogens. Compromise of this barrier presents in the context of inflammatory skin conditions and in chronic wounds. Skin conditions arising from dysfunctional inflammatory pathways severely compromise the quality of life of patients and have a high economic impact on the U.S. health care system. The development of a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that can disrupt skin inflammation is imperative to successfully modulate this inflammation with therapies.Recent Advances: Many advances in the understanding of skin inflammation have occurred during the past decade, including the development of multiple new pharmaceuticals. Mechanical force application has been greatly advanced clinically. Bioscaffolds also promote healing, while reducing scarring.Critical Issues: Various skin inflammatory conditions provide a framework for analysis of our understanding of the phases of successful wound healing. The large burden of chronic wounds on our society continues to focus attention on the chronic inflammatory state induced in many of these skin conditions.Future Directions: Better preclinical models of disease states such as chronic wounds, coupled with enhanced diagnostic abilities of human skin, will allow a better understanding of the mechanism of action. This will lead to improved treatments with biologics and other modalities such as the strategic application of mechanical forces and scaffolds, which ultimately results in better outcomes for our patients.
