In this article, we apply the Daftardar-Gejji and Jafari method (DJM) to solve multispecies Lotka–Volterra equation. A comparison between DJM, differential transformation (DTM), variational iteration (VIM), Adomian decomposition (ADM) shows that DJM is a reliable powerful for solving nonlinear equations. The efficiency applicability of are confirmed by considering some examples. proposed proced...

In just 10 years from its discovery in 2000, interleukin-23 has quickly moved from being recognized as a pro-inflammatory cytokine to a key player and potential therapeutic target in psoriasis.

The recent advances in the understanding of psoriasis pathogenesis have clarified the pivotal role of interleukin (IL)-23. It is a heterodimeric cytokine consisting of two subunits, the unique p19 and the p40, which are shared with IL-12. The basic role of IL-23 in psoriasis is the activation and maintenance of the T-helper 17 pathway. New research findings indicate that IL-23 is more important...
