microRNA-210 skews T cell subsets to promote psoriatic inflammation
The cause of imbalances in T cell subsets-- considered a key component of psoriasis pathogenesis-- remains unclear. A study published in the JCI implicates overexpression of miR-210 in biasing T cell differentiation toward pathogenic Th1 and Th17 cells.
