LB1114 Acupuncture improves Imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions through reducing local inflammatory responses

This study aims to investigate acupuncture treatment in psoriasis-like skin inflammatory responses, and explore the possible mechanisms. Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mice were treated with acupuncture, and methotrexate (MTX) was applied as a positive control. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) was scored to evaluate the skin lesions changes.
