    The JAK-STAT signaling pathway is crucial in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

  • 2

    Small molecule JAK inhibitors have shown significant efficacy in treating inflammatory skin diseases, with some already approved for clinical use.

  • 3

    Traditional classifications of inflammatory skin diseases based on T helper cell types are inadequate for guiding targeted therapies.

  • 4

    A proposed functional refinement framework integrates JAK-dependent cytokine modules into the existing Th immune axis for better therapeutic guidance.

  • 5

    Understanding the JAK-STAT pathway enhances the mechanistic insight into inflammatory skin diseases, supporting precision medicine approaches.
