Abstract: 【Abstract】 The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is complex, and mainly related to genetic background, environmental stimuli, epidermal barrier defects, immune disorders, and other factors. Using Th2-type inflammatory cytokines and the JAK-STAT pathway as therapeutic targets has become a hotspot in drug development for atopic dermatitis. By now, multiple monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule drugs have been successfully used in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, marking that the treatment of atopic dermatitis has entered the era of precision therapy and targeted therapy.
