Promoting a Th17 pathogenic response, the interleukin (IL)-23 pathway is crucial in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). With a favorable safety profile, ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the shared p40 component of IL-12/23, is currently approved for the treatment of IBD in patients with disease refractory to corticosteroids and biologic drugs. Risankizumab, mirikizumab, and guselkumab are specific IL-23p19 antagonists tested for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). However, only risankizumab currently has been approved for its treatment. Trials with guselkumab and mirikizumab are currently ongoing, with promising preliminary efficacy and safety results. In this review, we provide a summary of the current knowledge about selective IL-23 inhibitors, focusing on their positioning in the therapeutic algorithm of patients with moderate to severe CD.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa; it develops when the immune system reacts to an allergen. Side effects of topical glucocorticosteroids (GCS) used for AR treatment, the development of steroid resistance in patients and the continuing increase in morbidity explain the clear need to search for new approaches for AR treatment. The tricyclic antidepressant nortriptyline has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in a number of experimental studies, as well as its ability to complement the action of corticosteroids.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition consisting of two main types: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Conventional treatments for these diseases include aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologics. However, these treatments have several drawbacks, including high costs for patients and numerous side effects.

Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is a rare aseptic pustular dermatosis for which clinical guidelines are lacking and treatment is largely based on case reports. Biologically targeted therapies offer new therapeutic ideas, with TNF antagonists such as adalimumab showing promising efficacy in both adults and children.The IL-17 and IL-23 axes play a key role in the pathogenesis of ACH, and anti-IL-17A and anti-IL-23 antibodies have shown therapeutic efficacy.

Background: High-grade breast cancer (HGBC) is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis, underscoring the need for new treatment strategies. The tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a pivotal role in tumor progression, therapy resistance, and immune regulation. An ECM-related gene signature (defined ECM3), found in approximately 35% of HGBC cases, is associated with aggressive tumors, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), poor clinical outcome and increased infiltration of immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).

Objective: The coexistence of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with inflammatory myopathies, including antisynthetase syndrome (ASS), is exceptionally rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study reports a case of PsA overlapping with ASS and reviews the literature to analyze clinical features, immunopathogenesis, and treatment strategies.
Methods: A 52-year-old female with a 10-year history of psoriasis developed PsA and later presented with muscle weakness, mechanic's hands, and interstitial lung disease (ILD).
