What is Cytokine Therapy in Dermatology about?
**Abstract:** Cytokines have been in the focus of scientific interest for some years now. Analysing their expression permitted a better understanding of the pathogenesis of various diseases, including in dermatology. Moreover, they are now far beyond the stage when they were of interest only to the pathophysiological research sector: some cytokine therapies are already being employed as part of the clinical practice. In fact, several cytokines are used for the treatment of malignant, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. Their stage of development ranges from advanced, already approved and well established therapies (e.g. IFN‐α and IL‐2 for melanoma) to early explorative trials (e.g. IL‐4 and IL‐10 for psoriasis). Some of the new approaches currently under investigation will actually lead to registration of new drugs for dermatological treatment and to supplement existing therapeutic options. Beside this, the results of clinical trials with cytokines are significantly contributing to our understanding of the pathophysiology of diseases. They will give a better insight into which mechanisms play a greater or lesser part in their development and may generate momentum for still b
