New Format, Same Mission

As we launch in a new online format, I am reminded that the purpose of this publication remains the same: to share the latest discoveries in investigative dermatology in a practical and easily digestible format. As a result, we will continue to feature articles imparting cutting-edge scientific and clinical progress in the specialty, and highlight today’s researchers too.

In Hot Pursuit of Morphea

This article provides an overview of Dr. Heidi T. Jacobe’s wide range of contributions and associated insights. They provide critical guidance to practitioners now in diagnosing, assessing, and treating patients with morphea. And they will ultimately enable significant advances in treating this high-impact disease.
