Scientists discover hidden sugar layer behind psoriasis

A gel-like sugar coating on immune cells has been found to play a starring role in psoriasis.

This challenges the long-held idea that only blood vessel walls changed during this process. The finding could help guide new therapies aimed at controlling harmful inflammation.
