Abstract
Paf is a phospholipid mediator present in human skin which induces inflammatory events, such as neutrophil infiltration and increased vascular permeability. Recent data suggest that cutaneous cells, such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes, produce paf and that paf is released during allergic cutaneous reactions. It is tempting to speculate that paf may contribute to the development of various skin disorders with acute and chronic skin inflammation. Paf antagonists may help in bringing answers to this hypothesis and may offer new prospects for the treatment of cutaneous inflammatory diseases.Entities:
