Many research studies dedicated to skin have been published in 2016 in high impact factor journals. This article summarises a selection of research works published between December 2015 and September 2016. New insights into the understanding of the mechanisms involved in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis can lead to better management of these chronic inflammatory disorders. Moreover, a better understanding of the relation between the host and the environment could lead to new therapeutic strategies. Finally, new devices first dedicated to skin inflammatory diseases have been developed with success that could be extended to other chronic inflammatory disorders.
