Psoriasis is a common chronic autoimmune skin disorder with T-cell mediated multifunctional complex pathogenesis along with genetic predisposition. Conventionally, many therapies are available for the management of psoriasis, but they have limited efficacy due to higher side effects. Over the last decade, one of the major efforts in psoriasis research has been made for the development of drug molecules by understanding the potential biomolecules/biomarkers associated with psoriasis. This approach aims to provide selective immunologically directed intervention with fewer side effects than conventional therapies. The present review aims to give an exhaustive account on various biomarkers including oxidative stress, peptide, biochemical and gene markers responsible for keratocyte hyper proliferation, inflammatory responses and abnormal differentiation in psoriasis. Effective targeting of these over expressed biomarkers can serve as the novel tool for anti-psoriatic drug development. In addition, this review also gives insights into several novel biomarkers targeted drugs under pre-clinical and clinical investigation or have been registered by FDA for psoriasis management.

To improve the quality of health in a personalized manner, better control over pharmacologically relevant cargo formulation, organ-specific targeted delivery, and on-demand release of therapeutic agents is crucial. Significant work has been put into designing and developing revolutionary nanotherapeutics approaches for the effective monitoring and personalized treatment of disease. Nanogel (NG) has attracted significant interest because of its tremendous potential in cancer therapy and its environmental stimuli responsiveness. NG is considered a next-generation delivery technology due to its benefits like as size tunability, high loading, stimuli responsiveness, prolonged drug release via in situ gelling mechanisms, stability, and its potential to provide personalized therapy from the investigation of human genes and the genes in various types of cancers and its association with a selective anticancer drug. Stimuli-responsive NGs can be used as smart nanomedicines to detect and treat cancer and can be tuned as personalized medicine as well. This comprehensive review article's major objectives include the challenges of NGs' clinical translation for cancer treatment as well as its early preclinical successes and prospects.
