- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>After finalization of the validation study, the transplanted biopsies are<br /><br>isolated to study the psoriatic process via histological techniques. The<br /><br>primary read-out is epidermal thickness.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>After finalization of the validation study, the transplanted biopsies are<br /><br>isolated to study the psoriatic process via histological techniques. The<br /><br>secundary read-out is proliferation and differentiation of cells in the skin.<br /><br>Moreover, the activation and differentiation status of immune cells will be<br /><br>determined in the blood of the donors.</p><br>
