Atopic Dermatitis
(AD) is the most common pruritic inflammatory skin disease which causes
economic and social burden. AD is not curable and therapeutic options are
limited. Currently, the therapeutic approaches to AD include topical treatment,
phototherapy, and systemic treatment.
Although
traditional therapeutic strategies are efficacious in ameliorating the symptoms
of AD in most patients, sometimes it is a tough challenge for physicians
as AD is catastrophic and difficult to treat. Several potential treatments
for AD are being studied owing to a clearer understanding of its pathogenesis.
Additionally, animal
models of AD allow comprehensive and thorough investigation of pathogenesis and
provide more options of therapeutic interventions.
