“…As of now, we know that RAGE plays a role in a plethora of other physiological and pathological processes, including diabetes, osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Over the course of time, many different factors, including oxidative stress, were studied to explain the pathophysiology of many skin diseases characterized by chronic inflammation and frequent relapses, such as atopic dermatitis [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], psoriasis [ 24 , 25 ], lichen planus [ 26 , 27 ], vitiligo [ 28 , 29 ], or discoid lupus erythematosus [ 30 ]. It is well known that the clinical expression of such diseases depends on a variety of factors, both inner and outer, but, as of yet, one of these factors, namely RAGE, seems to play an important role in a context of continuous inflammatory and autoimmune stimuli, thus prompting further studies in order to complete the picture we have of such diseases.…”
