Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
In this study, the following questions will be answered:1. Does larval therapy accelerate wound healing?2. Do single larval secretions accelerate wound healing?3. Is the bacterial load in the wound reduced during larval therapy or is the microbiome…
Objective: We want to extend our understanding of the disease aetiology by performing a small pilot study that incorporates other immunologic sites involved in the disease (the skin and the microbiome) while additionally strengthening our disease…
The main objective of our study is to examine whether there is an association between IT (as determined by visual irritation grading scale after SLS patch test) and HTS formation and whether IT is a good predictor for HTS formation. If so then this…
To investigate whether the upregulation of CK16 and Ki-67 (a marker for cell proliferation) in the FPSU is specific for HS, measured in inflammatory nodules and pseudo-comedones, in comparison to other dermatologic conditions that have comparable (…
To determine the relationship between phenotypic, genetic and biochemical features of AD. , Relevant bimarkers of the skin barrier function including the levels of NMFs, inflammatory mediators (e.g. IL-1 cytokines), SC lipids and serine proteases…
To describe the composition of the BMZ along the interfollicular and follicular epidermis of perilesional HS skin and to investigate whether the expression of these proteins differs from normal skin of healthy control patients. Additionally, a…
To test the suitability of OCT for in vivo imaging of the vascularisation and surrounding tissue of burn wounds and scars.
Primary Objective: To define a top set of genes that most reliably (r >=0.95) distinguish psoriasis from normal skin. We will define this set from differential methylation genes to indicate potential biomarkers.Secondary Objective(s):…
Because the pathophysiology of SSc is unknown, there is currently no treatment available to cure the disease itself, so only individual organ system complications are treated (7,8). Therefore, treatment is patient-specific and aimed at ameliorating…
The primary objective of this study is to detect significant difference in the average response to histamine, topically and iontophoretically applied to the skin, between sensitive and non-sensitive skin volunteers. Skin reactions are assessed with…
In this project we would like to answer the following questions: To what extent are increased micro-vessel density (MVD) and excessive angiogenesis in inflammatory skin diseases observed during different phases of the disease (i.e. acute/…
to investigate whether the levels of a panel of biomarkers in dried blood spots can be used as a disease severity measurement tool in patients with AD, treated with topical steroids.
This single-center investigation will assess the prevalence of psoriasis in a population of patients with hepatitis C and compare the prevalence in those patients receiving pegylated interferon-* therapy to those not receiving pegylated interferon…
The major aim is to apply deep sequencing technology to obtain a detailed unbiased overview of the bacterial microbiome of human skin. This will be performed in healthy individuals, psoriasis patients and atopic dermatitis patients. Furthermore, we…
Setup method for detection of STAT3 phosphorylation in human blood derived from patients with various chronic inflammatory diseases.Test the effect of new compounds on this phosphorylation process.
In the present project we would like to find out whether we can observe Treg into Th17 conversion in lesional skin and in the peripheral blood of patients with AD and compare the results to our findings in psoriatic patients and healthy controls.…
In this project we would like to find out whether Sellotape stripped healthy skin can be used as an in vivo model for mechanical skin damage. This would contribute to more knowledge about growth, differentiation, inflammation and mechanical…
To perform a comprehensive analysis of the cellular infiltrate in lesional AD skin, using state of the art immunohistochemical techniques.
The objective of this study is to analyse the microbiome of the skin of patients with ichthyosis vulgaris (FLG -/-). This microbiome will be compared to the microbiome of healthy volunteers (FLG +/+) and first grade family members of patients with…
