Light-activated therapy: safer, side-effect-free psoriasis treatment

Light-activated molecules can reduce inflammation without side effects, offering a safer, more precise therapy.

Discover how photopharmacology is changing the game.

Psoriasis, a chronic skin condition affecting around 3% of the global population, has long challenged researchers and patients alike. Many treatments, especially biologics, are effective but costly and often unsuitable for localized mild cases. Now, researchers from the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) have demonstrated that light-activated molecules could provide a precise, side-effect-free therapy, marking a major breakthrough in photopharmacology.
