Genistein suppresses psoriasis-related inflammation through a STAT3–NF-κB-dependent mechanism in keratinocytes

Psoriasis is a chronic recurrent skin inflammatory disease, and inhibition of inflammation may be an effective means of treating psoriasis. The flavonoid genistein has a clear anti-inflammatory effect. However, the anti-psoriatic effects of genistein and their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of genistein on imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions in vivo and explored the mechanisms...
