- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main study parameters are the difference in gene expression profile of skin<br /><br>(lesional and non-lesional) of patients with NS (using scRNA-seq, and spatial<br /><br>transcriptomics) from skin of healthy controls and the difference in gene<br /><br>expression profile of NS-ILC and NS-SE. Furthermore, lesional NS skin will be<br /><br>compared with lesional AD skin and lesional psoriasis skin. </p><br>
