Abstract

The Inflammatory Skin Disease Summit (ISDS) 2023 conference was packed with many scientific presentations on current and future innovations in dermatology. At the forefront were cytokine profiling, targeting, and monitoring. Although much of this work is conducted in study settings, it will inevitably be incorporated into clinical practice in the coming years.
